The EDAR will be located on land on the right bank of the Rambla de Albuñol, in a total area of ​​more than eleven thousand meters, the expropriation of which has been entrusted to the Commonwealth together with the drafting of the 'basic' project. This infrastructure will benefit almost 15,000 people.

Once the treatment plant is built, the ownership will be from the Albuñolense City Council that will transfer it to the county entity, and this in turn will grant the management to the company Aguas y Servicios.

The planned works consist of the construction of a sewage treatment plant in the municipal area of ​​Albuñol, which will reach by gravity the waters coming from the town center of Albuñol and Los Castilla; a pumping station in El Pozuelo (for the waters from El Pozuelo, Huarea and Los Canalizos) and the corresponding drive pipeline to the intermediate station from which it will be pumped to the future WWTP of Albuñol. It also includes the rehabilitation of the Rábita pumping station for pumping operation to the WWTP and, on occasion, pumping to the outfall.

From the population centers of El Pozuelo and La Rábita, pumping stations (EBAR) will be built up to an intermediate one, from which the raw water will rise to the new WWTP. Reducing with this solution the number of conductions that will arrive at the future Depuradora Station, optimizing the pumping and impulsion installations.

Currently the municipality of Albuñol and several of its surrounding population centers are in a situation such that the wastewater generated by them are discharged without any purification to the sea.
