Gestione Impianti Depurazione Acque S.p.A. -better known as G.I.D.A.- is a joint-stock company with mixed public and private capital consisting of three partners: the Municipal Administration of Prato, Confindustria Toscana Nord Lucca Pistoia Prato and Alia Servizi Ambientali S.p.A. which hold respectively 46.92%, 45.08% and 8% of the shares. G.I.D.A was born in 1981 when Law 319/76 also known as the Merli law entered into force.

With the construction of the Baciacavallo plant, the first core of the current centralized system for the depuration of civil and industrial wastewater, the Municipality of Prato and Confindustria Toscana Nord Lucca Pistoia Prato (then "Unione Industriale Pratese") agreed on an appropriate response to the law: with the establishment of G.I.D.A. they created an extraordinary synergy, which has guaranteed the indisputable balance between the fundamental needs of the textile industry and those of the population in Prato over time.

Currently G.I.D.A. manages the depuration plants serving the municipalities of Prato, Vaiano, Vernio and Cantagallo, the Calice sewage treatment plant and the industrial aqueduct network. Today GIDA is more than ever prepared to accept the new challenges that its role imposes through research and application of innovative technologies with low energy consumption: among the others, developing recycling processes of wastewater through the industrial aqueduct, enhancing the platform aimed at disposing liquid waste, recovering the energy potential of the sludge resulting from depuration, and finally the active collaboration in the construction of the separate sewer for industrial wastewater.
