Distribution

From the drinwing water treatment plants to the user's tap, a series of facilities are managed that ensure the maintenance of the water supply service continuously and with the required pressure. This set of facilities is composed of: large pipes, regulatory tanks, smaller tanks, lifting stations and the distribution network.

More information

The network of large pipelines that transport the water to the regulatory tanks is completed with the distribution network that allows all customers to arrive from these deposits.

The knowledge of the supply network, a systematic process for the treatment and resolution of incidents in it, and the technological advance that monitors in real time the flow and pressure conditions of all the sectors of the transport and distribution network of the Community of Madrid, has allowed us to reach high levels of efficiency and savings in available resources, despite the increase of our customers in recent years.

REPRESENTATIVE FACILITY

SANTA ENGRACIA WATER TANK

This tank, which stands on Santa Engracia street and is bounded by Ríos Rosas, Bravo Murillo and José Abascal streets, entered service in 1876 and has a capacity of 188,412 m3 and measures 208.3 m by 138.8 m
