The
publicly owned company ACOSOL was founded in 1994
as a response to the need to bring improvements
and flexibility to such an important service as
the supply of water and sanitation its legal
form is that of a publicly owned company belonging
to the Association of Municipalities of the Western
Costa del Sol (Mancomunidad de Municipios de la
Costa del Sol Occidental), made up of eleven municipalities:
TORREMOLINOS, BENALMADENA, FUENGIROLA, MIJAS, OJÉN,
MARBELLA, ISTÁN, BENAHAVÍS, ESTEPONA, CASARES and
MANILVA. |
These
municipalities share a Solid Urban Waste (refuse)
collection service and water management, both
for supply and for sanitation (purifying used
water).
The Association has a chairman, elected by the
twenty-two members who make up the Management
Committee: eleven mayors and eleven councillors.
Its headquarters is in the municipal district
of Marbella, at the geographical centre of a region
that extends along almost 100 kilometres of coastline
and also includes some neighbouring areas in the
nearby mountains.
ACOSOL takes charge of bringing water from the La Concepción reservoir and the Desalination Plant to the municipalities and housing developments that request it. It is
also in charge of cleaning (purifying) used water,
so that it reaches the sea in perfect condition
or for use in watering golf courses and gardens.
This purification is included in what is known
as Integrated Sanitation, a project that includes
not only the Western Costa del Sol, but the entire
province and, in the future, all the Spanish coast,
in order to maintain our sea and our beaches in
optimum conditions.
