Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all
We have organized and achieved a lot in the sphere of the use, dispersion and quality of water.

Water
Taking action to decrease water consumption in the processes of catchment and distribution, reducing water loss and improving the quality of water returned to the environment.
| KPI | 2021 | 2023 | 2026 | 2030 |

Action
- Water leakage detection and reduction activities continued in 2022: more than 1,010 km of network were inspected.
- The Aquarius project is also advancing, which involves the installation of sensors (noise loggers)
capable of detecting the 'noise' of a leak from a pipeline in real-time, thereby changing the paradigm of water network management. The project was expanded with the installation of 175 sensors in December 2022. - Activities continued in 2022 for the renewal and energy efficiency of the plants, both those related to the water service and those related to the sewers and purifiers. Overall, more than 50 plants were involved. The concomitant activity underway to reduce water dispersion has also brought, and will continue to bring positive impacts in terms of reducing electricity consumption (more than 330,000 kWh) of the water service's collection and repumping plants.
- The elaboration of the Safety Plan for the Brescia-Botticino-Bovezzo-Cellatica-Collebeato water systems and in parallel for the Ospitaletto water system continued.
- The new Val Trompia district purification plant was inaugurated in December. The purification plant that has been commissioned can treat the waste water generated by 85,000 population equivalents and is already planning a second expansion phase that will allow it to serve up to 138,000 population equivalents.
- Construction work also began on the new Vobarno purification plant (7,195 population equivalent served) and the Calvisano purification plant (7,041 population equivalent served).
