    Isolated and restored set consisting of a pool, with an integrated laundry room and fountain. The pool is flat irregular and slightly rounded elongated profile. It is formed by a semi-underground wall with the plastered facing and finished with a row of flat bricks. Inside it has a smooth coating and a tiled floor in the mixture. Both the laundry room and the fountain are located on the south side. The laundry room is
    rectangular in plan, it is delimited from the pool with a plastered masonry wall and connected to the source by a small circular opening. The bricks that run along its perimeter are inclined to facilitate washing. The fountain has a rectangular sink, with an opening towards the pool. Water emanated through a spout metal, embedded in a masonry pillar topped with a granite stone. At present, water flows from a pillar stone building located at the northern end of the basin, below Carrer Major.

      History:
      Initially, this complex was part of the properties of the ca n'Homs farmhouse, located above it. It had the purpose of storing water to irrigate the fields, for domestic use and to wash clothes. The fountain's water came from the Can Vidal canal through a mine located to the north, above the street. Restoration work on the complex began at the end of 2015 and ended in August in 2017. The execution was carried out by the Municipal Maintenance and Services Brigade of the City Council de Dosrius, previous agreement with the company that owns the land. The laundry room was restored and they left solve the water leaks that the source was suffering from. According to oral sources, this space was also a place of meeting place for the people of the town, a social space where you can relate. It was cleaned twice a year (before Festival of the Brotherhood of Saint Joseph and the Summer Festival).

        On the east side there were two chickadees bicentennials that disappeared. At noon, some orchards are still cultivated, in the area of the faixes del laundry room In the past they had been cultivated by the farmers of the ca n'Homs farmhouse.
