The spindles were not owned by a single person. Its construction, maintenance and its production of wheat flour were the responsibility of a community. As a rule they were religious communities, which were responsible for providing the so-called currencies or sometimes the tenants.

The properties of the springs are granted to the religious orders by the king. This situation is changing as the centuries evolve.
