At the meeting, held in Cardedeu at the Potable Water Treatment Plant (ETAP), Vila explained the project's technical specifications to the municipal representatives. He also announced that a public tender will be opened at the end of February to award the contract for the works to finish the construction of the fourth section, the last part to be built, as the other three sections were constructed between 2003 and 2009. Construction of this pipeline will begin on 1st September 2024, and the works will take 24 months to complete. The Ter-Llobregat Water Supply Authority (ATL) has announced the construction of another pipeline parallel to the Besòs River to prevent this water loss. The works have a budget of 36 million euros, which will be covered by the supply authority. These are the requirements to obtain the current Tarjeta Rosa (social transport card) in Barcelona.

While the permanent solution is pending, Badalona is provisionally managing its particular leak with a pipeline to the Montigalà reservoir, presented last October by the mayor Xavier Garcia Albiol (PP). Currently, they cannot quantify the litres of water remaining in the reservoir. However, the ATL director explained that this reservoir does not have sufficient capacity to handle all the incoming water and that "they will study how to improve this alternative in the coming months". The Catalan Water Agency (ACA) estimates the water wasted in the Canyet stream in Badalona during 2022 at 134,300 million litres. The leak passes 180,000 litres per day, approximately 65.7 million litres per year. For over 15 years, about 255,000 litres of drinking water per day have been lost from this pipeline, concentrated in the municipality of Santa Coloma de Gramenet (Les Oliveres leak, 75,000 litres daily) and in Badalona (Canyet leak, 180,000 litres daily).

For his part, Vila explained that "the repair of this pipeline is dependent on the construction of its duplication, which will serve as an alternative for continuing to transport the necessary flows for the water supply to the population." The large three-metre diameter aqueduct – a car could fit through it – transports 4,000 litres per second and has been operational since 1966, according to the ATL director. The bulk of the work will involve duplicating the 6.2 km of pipe, which will create another pipeline parallel to the Besòs River through the northern area of Santa Coloma de Gramenet and Montcada. This will guarantee the supply to three million inhabitants while the water service in the previous one is cut for several days.

The cost of leak repairs in Canyet typically ranges from €46 to €594. The final price depends on the property's condition, materials used, and the time required. We always provide a fixed quote before starting. Interested companies can submit their bids until the end of August for the construction of one of Barcelona's metropolis's most important water distribution mains. This was announced by the ATL director, David Vila, this Wednesday, February 7th, to the media before the meeting with the mayors of Montcada i Reixac, Bartolomé Egea (PSC); Santa Coloma de Gramenet, Núria Parlon (PSC); and the councillor for the Environment of Badalona, Sonia Egea (PP), representing mayor Xavier Garcia Albiol.
