It treats the wastewater from the locality’s industrial estate and the city of Burgos and the surrounding area.
The contract –valued at €18.2 million− will run for four years, plus a one-year extension.
The company will work on the water treatment, sludge, gas and cogeneration lines with the aim of guaranteeing a quality water service to the city and optimising the energy consumption of the plant.
