Wastewater Collector Project Expands Tenerife Sanitation System

COMSA Corporación has been awarded a contract to build the main wastewater collector for the western area of Tenerife. The project, commissioned by ACUAES, forms part of a broader infrastructure program aimed at improving sanitation, treatment and water reuse on the island.

Regional Wastewater Transport Infrastructure
The project involves constructing a collector pipeline more than 5.2 kilometres long. The infrastructure will transport wastewater from several municipalities to a new treatment plant planned for western Tenerife.

By centralizing treatment processes, the system aims to improve wastewater management efficiency and ensure compliance with environmental standards governing water discharge and reuse.

Wastewater collectors are critical components in regional sanitation systems because they consolidate flows from urban areas and convey them to treatment facilities where biological and chemical treatment processes can be applied.

Supporting Sustainable Water Cycle Management
The collector project is part of a wider set of initiatives developed by ACUAES to strengthen Tenerife’s sanitation and treatment network. These investments aim to increase treatment capacity, enable wastewater reuse and reduce environmental impacts associated with untreated discharges.

Improved treatment infrastructure also supports water reuse strategies, which are increasingly important in regions with limited freshwater resources.

Infrastructure Serving More Than 100,000 Residents
The new collector will support sanitation services for more than 100,000 inhabitants across western Tenerife. By improving wastewater transport and treatment capacity, the infrastructure contributes to environmental protection, coastal water quality and public health.

Large-scale wastewater infrastructure projects such as this collector play a central role in urban water management systems, enabling reliable sanitation services while supporting long-term sustainability of the regional water cycle.
