The beginnings of centralized drinking water supply in the metropolitan area date back to the beginning of the 20th century when a project is being developed focusing on the underground sources afferent to Somes' alluvial cone at the expense of other sources. The source raises the issue of water deferring and demanganizing due to its high Fe and Mn content. The age of the adduction network causes defects that require rehabilitation of the old supply chain trunks. The sewage capacity - the discharge of meteoric and domestic water is outweighed by heavy rainfall resulting in outbreaks in certain urban areas with floods in inland waters. The phenomenon is favored by the flatness of the relief, the clogging of the evacuation network and the inconsistency between the urban dynamics and the existing sewerage network.
