The facilities: the tap, the shed, the siphons, and other complementary works, were inaugurated on May 15, 1878, after the two years it took to carry out the underground pipeline from the Pou Roig.
Those in charge of “la Font”, who lived in the hut that was located there, took on the task of charging users the five cents that each two jugs of water cost and between 25 and 50 cents for washing clothes. Starting in the 1940s, home delivery of water began in stables and in carts equipped for this purpose, until in 1963, due to the considerable increase in the population, running water was provided.
At the end of 1998, work was undertaken to recover and unearth the sinks of the two laundry basins that were buried during the construction of the current avenue.
The design of the reconstruction, the work of artists Elías Úrbez and Esteban Juárez, includes the construction of a portico or “riu-rau”, which houses the sinks of the old laundry; as well as the rehabilitation of the shed, where the taps were located, and the creation of a garden area.
