Almada water services identify significant infrastructure leaks
The Municipalized Water and Sanitation Services (Serviços Municipalizados de Água e Saneamento or SMAS) of Almada have increased inspections to promote responsible water consumption. Recent efforts have successfully identified several locations with significant water losses within the municipal network.
SMAS (Serviços Municipalizados de Água e Saneamento) is a municipal service provider responsible for managing water supply, sewage, and waste collection in specific Portuguese municipalities. In Almada, this entity oversees the local water infrastructure, and its operational failures are often linked to long-term maintenance and investment decisions made by the local government.
