After the typhus epidemic that devastated the city in 1914 due to the contamination of the water, the supply system had to be renewed. The complex made up of the Trinitat Vella Water House and the Trinitat Nova Water House was built between 1915 and 1919, the year it came into operation to improve the hygienic conditions of the supply.

The relevance of the Water House of Trinidad Nueva lies in its architectural clarity and its construction typology. It is, in fact, one of the first buildings built with reinforced concrete in Barcelona. The modernist complex, the work of engineers Felipe Steva Planas and Joan Sitjes, is included in the city's heritage catalogue. It currently houses an environmental education facility. Today, this space, which in the past was vital in the history of Barcelona and in supplying one of the most precious goods for survival, has become an area with beautiful gardens and a vegetable garden. the city network.
