Reus installs four solidarity meters to guarantee access to water for vulnerable families

Reus launches four solidarity meters to guarantee access to drinking water for vulnerable families at no cost to the affected properties. This provisional measure aims to overcome administrative barriers that hinder the water supply to people in precarious situations.

The municipal Social Services are currently processing four requests for these meters, which will be installed while a stable residential solution for the families is sought.

The installation is provisional and involves no cost for the property owners. It remains active while the residential situation of the affected people is resolved.

Guaranteeing access to water helps reduce inequality, improves public health, and reinforces the City Council’s social commitment to the most vulnerable sectors.
