A consortium formed by ACCIONA and Aqualia has been awarded the contract for the operation, maintenance and conservation of the three desalination plants in Ibiza for the next four years by The Balearic Water and Environmental Quality Agency (Abaqua). Water is produced trough reverse osmosis for municipal use in the city of Ibiza.
The two awarded lots include the management of the Santa Eulària and San Antonio desalination plants, as well as the management of the Ibiza Town desalination plant and the system that connects the three plants, consisting of an island interconnection network with 74 kilometers of pipelines.
These three plants serve the five municipalities of Ibiza island (Sant Josep de sa Talaia, Santa Eulària des Riu, Sant Joan de Labritja, Sant Antoni de Portmany and Eivissa) and have a total production capacity of 44,500m³ per day, equivalent to the water volume of 18 Olympic swimming pools, distributed through 19 supply points.
