Emergency Water Supply

This meeting with the Lisbon Civil Protection Authority focused on defining the operational and deployment requirements for the emergency water supply system, covering tank infrastructure, distribution logistics, and water quality integration.

Key points discussed included:

• direct connection to the EPAL public network as the primary filling method, with Storz-compatible caps enabling supplementary supply via tanker trucks

• a city-wide distribution strategy spanning 86 designated emergency points across Lisbon, with additional mobile units and dedicated fire-fighting support points in Monsanto

• deployment modes distinguishing between standard gravity-fed operation for everyday supply disruptions and emergency access — which, beyond standard authentication, grants designated Civil Protection operatives a privileged control layer for crisis scenarios

• evaluation of cost-effective ATP testing solutions to ensure water quality assurance in field conditions

• structural considerations including a spring-based mounting system for seismic resilience and height-adjustable supports to maintain adequate gravitational pressure
