At the Limit in Sant Llorenç: Water, Waste and the Construction Site of the Summer Months

Answer

What happens when the sewage plant in Sant Llorenç reaches capacity?

When the sewage treatment plant is at its limit, the system has less room to handle the peak summer load. That can increase the risk of technical failures and pollution exceedances, especially during heatwaves or heavy rain. It is one reason municipalities need seasonal staffing, buffer capacity and better planning.
