It is the recognition of the work carried out during the 11 years of the operation. We have begun to have a new vision of things, not only as a wastewater treatment plant, but also as a resource recovery unit. We carry out treatment with sustainability, using water reused in the operating process, energy from the operation’s photovoltaic plant and also sludge composting
