                                                    IS WATER CUT OFF FOR FAMILIES AT
                                                   RISK OF EXCLUSION?

                                                 Water is not cut off for anyone who genuinely
                                                cannot pay for it. Aqualia and the local councils
                                               have different mechanisms in place to help
                                               destitute families.

                                                                                                      #12verdadesSobreAgua

Collaboration on sporting events

Aqualia collaborated on the “III Swimming Crossing in the Sea at Denia”, in
which more than 200 swimmers tread 1,500 metres in open waters. The child
category had participation from 17 children from the Denia Sports Centre race
team, which was runner-up last season.

In 2015, the San Pedro del Pinatar and Los Alcázares sports centres in Murcia
organised, alongside the Municipal Sports Association of San Javier, the 1st School
Swimming League of the Mar Menor, which over the course of three days
had participation from more than 650 swimmers.

Along these same lines, in June 2015, over 250 swimmers from the sports centres
that Aqualia manages in Levante competed in the Inter-centre Swimming
Championship, held in Los Alcázares (Murcia). The winning centre of this edition
was from Denia (Alicante). The centre celebrated its 5 year anniversary in April
with an event that was attended by more than 300 people.

          Of particular note was Aqualia's sponsorship for the eleventh year running of
          the Basketball Tournament in Memory of Juan José Gómez and Luis Cestero in
          Badajoz, in which four of the most important teams from Spain and Portugal
          competed. During the semi-final, there was a tribute paid to Juan José Gómez
          and Luis Cestero, player and trainer respectively of the club in Badajoz, who both
          died in a road accident.
