Tedagua strengthens its leadership in integrated water cycle management with three strategic contracts in Spain

• Over 268,000 people will benefit from three strategic contracts across several Spanish regions, reinforcing Tedagua’s role as a key player in the integrated water cycle management sector.
• The contracts cover the management of more than 20 treatment plants, 13 dams, and 500 kilometers of hydraulic networks, including wastewater treatment plants, drinking water facilities, pipelines, and regulation systems across more than 40 municipalities and key locations.

Tedagua continues to consolidate its leadership in water treatment and management in Spain through three new contracts for the operation and maintenance of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), drinking water treatment plants (DWTPs), domestic water supply systems, and dams in the autonomous communities of La Rioja, Extremadura, Andalusia, Castilla-La Mancha, Aragón, and Castilla y León. These contracts further establish the company as a benchmark operator in the integrated water cycle and hydraulic infrastructure maintenance.

In La Rioja, Tedagua, in a joint venture with AQLARA, will manage the operation and maintenance of various sanitation, treatment, and supply facilities in the Rioja Baja and Cidacos areas. The contract, formalized in May with the La Rioja Water and Waste Consortium, continues the work the joint venture had been carrying out under an emergency contract over the past year.

The project includes the operation of 19 wastewater treatment plants, one drinking water treatment plant, and 18 septic tanks across multiple municipalities, with Calahorra serving as the technical and administrative hub. The main plant, located in Calahorra, is designed to serve over 140,000 population equivalents and features advanced treatment processes such as anaerobic sludge digestion, biogas cogeneration, and composting.

The system serves an equivalent population of more than 210,000 people and is designed to treat nearly 8 million cubic meters of water annually. The joint venture partners have committed to modernizing the facilities, integrating renewable energy, deploying zero-emission vehicles, and enhancing technical training for staff, while also promoting R&D projects aimed at improving wastewater treatment.

In the province of Badajoz, the Tedagua-Majoin-Aqlara joint venture has been awarded the contract to manage the potable water supply service in the Northwest Zone, promoted by the Environmental Management Consortium Promedio of the Badajoz Provincial Council. The contract, initially set for three years with a possible two-year extension, covers water supply for over 58,000 residents in 15 municipalities, as well as the operation and maintenance of 495 kilometers of distribution networks and four drinking water plants.

The project aims to ensure continuous, high-quality water supply, optimize the hydraulic performance of infrastructure, and guarantee long-term preservation under the direct supervision of the provincial consortium.

Additionally, Tedagua, in a joint venture with Elecnor, has recently been awarded a contract for the operation of a group of strategic dams and pipelines managed by the state-owned company Aguas de las Cuencas de España (ACUAES). This contract, initially for two years with the option to extend up to five, includes comprehensive maintenance, monitoring, technical support, and operational management of key infrastructure for water supply, irrigation, and hydraulic regulation.

The work will be carried out in the provinces of Córdoba, Albacete, Ciudad Real, Huesca, Zaragoza, Teruel, León, Ávila, and Segovia, with the goal of ensuring safety, energy efficiency, and operational reliability in compliance with current regulations.

These contracts highlight Tedagua’s commitment to sustainable, efficient, and technologically advanced water cycle management, delivering comprehensive solutions that meet the evolving needs of public administrations and ensure high-quality service for citizens.
