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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pipeline water losses (cu.m./km/day) (average) | 23.1 | 21.8 | 19.9 | 18.7 |

Action
- In the sphere of the modernization of dehydration systems in order to reduce the production by treatment facilities of biological sludge, in 2021, machinery started functioning at the purification plants in Brescia, Nuvolera, Borgosatollo and Bedizzole Pontenove. In 2021, the production by facilities of dehydrated sludge was 6% lower than in 2020;
- The ongoing Aquarius project foresees the installation of noise loggers able to detect leakages on the basis of the noise of the water: another 220 of these sensors have been installed, extending the area monitored in Brescia and adding parts of networks in other municipalities for a total of another 130 km of pipeline covered by this technology;
- Work on the new facilities of Gavardo and Alfianello has been completed;
- Work has started on the Valtrompia treatment facility: the project will make it possible to add about 85,000 equivalent inhabitants in the first phase and features the use of materials and instrumentation specifically designed to reduce the environmental impact from the moment of construction: In fact, greenbase concrete, produced using secondary raw materials, is being used, thus respecting the principles of the circular economy. In addition, the facility will use low-energy-consumption machinery, for which an application has been made to GSE for about 600 energy efficiency white certificates.
