The municipal companies of Loulé (Infralobo, Infraquinta and Inframoura) are those with the lowest percentage of unbilled water and, as such, fewer losses in the network, in the Algarve, according to the Annual Report of Water and Waste Services in Portugal (RASARP2023) .
Infraquinta, with just 2,8%, leads this ranking in the Algarve, followed by Infralobo (6,7%) and Inframoura (7%).
These numbers, according to Infralobo, «not only demonstrate the operational excellence of these entities, but also highlight the commitment of the municipality of Loulé to sustainability and water efficiency».
«This excellent performance has been a constant in recent years, reflecting the long-term commitment of Loulé's management entities to operational excellence and environmental sustainability. It is proof that investment in water efficiency is not only possible but is fundamental for the responsible management of water resources», he adds.
