The agreement reached with the local council also brings an end to a long period of disagreement through an out-of-court settlement
Aqualia is strengthening its presence in Andalusia with a five-year extension to its contract in the city of Jaén, where the company has been responsible for managing the end-to-end water cycle since 1997. The agreement represents a business portfolio of €76 million, of which approximately €50 million will derive from service management, with the remaining €26 million allocated to improvement works aimed at upgrading the urban sanitation and water supply networks.
This extension, valid until 2032, concludes an out-of-court settlement that cancels the city council’s debt to the company, maintains the original contractual formula for unit costs, and includes a programme of investments set out in the master plan, financed through the newly approved tariff.
Notable investments include the opening of a new customer service office in the city centre; the renewal of light vehicles and lorries; the restoration of the historic Raudal de la Magdalena, the city’s original fountain; and a range of improvement works on streets and avenues such as Avenida de Madrid, Hospitalico, Tiro Nacional and Avenida Arjona, amongst others.
