The mobile desalination plant and its connection to the public network
Hoteliers in Lloret de Mar plan to install a mobile desalination plant this summer to deal with water restrictions due to the drought. However, it has been confirmed that this desalination plant will not be able to pour the excess water into the public network. The reason for this limitation is the complexity of the connection between the mobile desalination plant and the municipality’s pipes, which will not be finished in time for this summer
Utilization of surplus water
The hoteliers have announced that they will use the water left over from the desalination plant to fill their swimming pools. In addition, this water will be available for residents who want to buy it for their own needs. There are already companies interested in acquiring part of this surplus, and even the Town Council of Tossa de Mar, a neighboring municipality of Lloret de Mar, has shown interest in buying desalinated water for its hotels and campsites
Connection with the public network
Although it was initially expected that the mobile desalination plant would be able to dump surpluses into the public network for residents to use, it has been confirmed that this connection will not be easy or quick to make. Therefore, it is unlikely that it will be finished before the end of the summer
Sale of desalinated water
Despite this limitation, hoteliers in Lloret de Mar maintain the offer to sell desalinated water to neighbors who want to buy it for their swimming pools. This will allow residents to have access to quality water during the summer season
