I guess it's possible.
If you google "Can I wash my car in the street in Spain" you'll see that the fine that can be issued for this is actually about polluting the drains. I guess that if you're hosing rubbish and debris off of your property into the street drains then it could be regarded as the same thing.
Fortunately where I live, I seriously doubt that a police patrol has cruised past past once in the last 10 years, so you'd need to be very unlucky to get caught red handed; although I suppose a disgruntled neighbour could video you and issue a denuncia.

It's a waste of water for one thing, and most people do not bother cleaning up where the rubbish has been moved from their garden to the street, I'm alright Jack kind of thinking

We were told years ago that it's illegal to let water run into the street.

Correct it is illegal and the police can fine people if they happen to be driving along as the water is running into the street. It happened to one of our neighbours.

We have good police patrols 3 times already down our street this morning,
yes it a waste of water, sweeping brush and mop and bucket, does a better job, but most people are lazy and don't bother at all,and as for people who only visit a few times a year,then go to there communal post boxes take all there junk mail out and leave it for someone else to bin or it blows round the roads and pavements,they are just inconsiderate of the people that live there permanently,lazy inconsiderate people all around these days ,as chrisdee says I,m alright jack attitude.

From the replies to this original question it seems that no one has actually been fined. Shame really because I don’t think people realize this country, especially here in the South, is so dry and we’ve not had enough rainfall for years. Please respect our water supply and don’t abuse it.

Yes they have - please read my post above. It was a few years back and was, if I remember correctly, 100€ or 50€ if paid promtly - I would no doubt it will be more now. I know they paid 50€. The police were driving by at the time and stopped.
It does not mean that everyone who has been fined has come on this topic to tell us, or on this forum. We don't own a hose pipe for this reason and watering cans and buckets can easily do the jobs without over-using precious resources. Traces of water are not going to be fined but torrents running down the street could be, as could happen with a hose or even emptying large padding pools.

What is the correct "legal" way to empty a child's paddling pool?
Also, What do all home owners do after a Sahara red rain sweeps through ?
Just asking
