Reuse of water from municipal swimming pools for maintenance of public spaces

Every day in Toulouse (Haute-Garonne), 40,000 liters of water are needed to clean the streets. While drought and water shortages have seen the past few weeks, the municipality has decided to take this resource from the pond that must be emptied. “We will restore 6,100 cubic meters of this pool, which normally had to be emptied, as is the case every year in public spaces.”François Chollet, Toulouse Metropole Vice President for Environmental Transition announced.
