YOU CAN RAIN

IT NEVER RAINS AS MUCH AS WE WOULD LIKE

Luckily, you can rain. All of us can rain. Do you want to know how? Every time you do those small gestures in your daily life to save water, it is actually raining.

WHEN YOU SHOWER QUICKLY

It is much better to shower than to take a bath. And if your shower is fast, every drop you save is a storm in your bathroom.

 

WHEN YOU FILL THE WASHER AND THE DISHWASHER WELL

When you fill the dishwasher and washing machine to the maximum, it is raining. Because it is the most effective way to save water, and every drop you save is a drop of rain.

WHEN YOU INSTALL DRIP IRRIGATION OR PUT IN NATIVE PLANTS

Drop by drop, we can all rain a little more. Like when we install drip irrigation or put native plants that consume less water instead of grass.

WHEN YOU CLOSE THE FAUCET WHEN SOAPING

Whether you're doing the dishes, brushing your teeth or showering yourself, turning off the tap helps prevent a good downpour.

DOMESTIC WASTE

WET WIPES ALWAYS IN THE BIN

Wipes have become a great threat to treatment plants and sanitation networks. Unlike what is indicated on some containers, they are not disposable, as their fabric is made up of synthetic fibers that cannot be disintegrated, leading to bottlenecks in the sanitation network. Thus, once used, throw the wipes in the trash bin.

Do you know why they should never be thrown to the WC?

  • Because its composition is a mixture of synthetic fibers that cannot be disintegrated.
  • Because they can cause blockages in the pipes of your home and in the sanitation networks. In the worst case, they can render the treatment plants inoperative.
  • Because they are not biodegradable or disposable; At least not at all. If they do break down, they don't break down in the time it takes to get to the waste water treatment stations.
  • Because they can cause significant environmental damage, especially in aquatic ecosystems, if they end up reaching rivers.

STRIPS, STICKS, COMPRESSES, MASKS...ALSO TO THE BIN

Sadly, it's not just about wet wipes. There are many other waste that irresponsibly ends up in the toilet, instead of doing it in the bin or garbage bin: plasters, compresses, cottons, masks, condoms or cotton swabs are just some examples. The accumulation of all of them in the treatment plants, from where they have to be removed, ends up generating a mass of unpleasant and environmentally damaging waste.

EASY GUIDE TO LOOKING AFTER OUR RIVERS

Every day a multitude of solid waste arrives at our WWTP, which can clog the pipes or even render these treatment plants inoperative, which entails a risk to the environment. Preventing it is up to us.
