The State Corporation Aguas de las Cuencas de España (ACUAES) of the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Environment has awarded, for EUR 21.9 million, the joint venture formed by Sanjose Constructora, Riovalle Construccion y Obra Pública and Copsa the execution works of Ring Supply and Drinking Water Reservoirs of Cortes, which will ensure adequate water supplies to Burgos, its industrial environment and the people.

With this action the supply line will be improved from the Drinking Water Treatment Plant (DWTP) and the capacity of the tanks and the general lines will be expanded. For this, a new supply network of 19.2 km and 1,200 mm in diameter will be built, joining the Arlanzón DWTP with the Cortes zone, located at the south of Burgos, where a new reservoir will be built with a capacity of 40,000 m³.

The project also includes the works of the additional lines that connect the aforementioned reservoir of Cortes and the outskirts of the city of Burgos. Two main lines will be carried out, the first one, from the reservoir of Cortes up to Plaza Bilbao and 4.1 km long; and the second, from the reservoir of Cortes to Villalonquéjar and 6.9 km long.
