Usine des eaux de Clairfont

The Clairfont water treatment plant is located between the road to Spain and the Garonne River on a large site in Portet-sur-Garonne, southwest of Toulouse. To meet the growing demand for potable water from the expanding population on the left bank due to the construction of the Mirail ZUP, the Société d'équipement de Toulouse Midi-Pyrénées (SETOMIP) organized a competition for the plant's construction. Designed for an initial capacity of 50,000 m³ per day, expanding to 150,000 m³ at full completion, the project attracted four bids, ultimately awarded to a consortium including Compagnie Générale des Eaux, omnium d’assainissement, and Compagnie Générale de Travaux d'hydraulique.
