Radio Sintonia:

Scheduled water cuts in areas of the municipality of La Oliva for maintenance.

The Consorcio de Abastecimiento de Aguas a Fuerteventura ( CAAF ) will undertake renovation and maintenance work at the Fimapaire and Morro del Puerco deposits on Monday, November 16, and Tuesday, November 17, which will be affected by a power outage. supply different areas of the municipality of La Oliva, with the highest incidence in La Oliva, Villaverde, Tindaya, Lajares, El Roque, Cotillo and adjoining areas.

Part of Cotillo has now been without mains water for over 24 hours, ideal in a pandemic situation where washing of hands is at a premium and now to add insult to injury, the electricity keeps going off!  Been staying here long term for many years and witnessed a systematic and depressing decline in essential services during the period.  The main street is a canyon and will be for quite a while, judging by the efficiency of the workforce.  Like the Berlin of old, Cotillo now has a divide down the middle and being slightly more elevated, the South sector suffers most from low/no water pressure.

Beginning to make Goa, Gambia, Kenya etc. look very second world!

I agree, it really is time CAAF fired someone. Is there a legal case to be made against paying monthly connection fees to a service that doesn't supply?

Sad to report that in the middle of a pandemic, parts of El Cotillo have again been without water for 24 hours and that's in a village that only has a small fraction of the number of people it usually has this time of year.  With caravanners and motorhomers already emptying excrement here. there and everywhere, how long before residents are forced to do the same?

No water again this evening in this part of Cotillo. Let's just hope that the hand sanitizers at the Supermarkets take away all our germs. Pitiful.

Thought of this thread when I passed the statue in Puerto today 

 

CAAF might not be great but water has really flowed in the last 50 years here!

Just read that a major supply pipe near Puerto is being repaired. Whole island reduced to 50% flow. About normal really 🤣

Our mains is down to a trickle at the moment. Fortunately we now have 2x1000 litre tanks installed.

Investment of more than five million in the desalination plants of Corralejo and Puerto del Rosario
The Cabildo de Fuerteventura, through the Insular Area of Infrastructures, Planning, Roads and Land Management directed by President Sergio Lloret López, in coordination with the Consortium of Water Supply of Fuerteventura (CAAF) and the Insular Water Council, continues working to solve the problems of drinking water supply that the Island suffers.
In this context, the second meeting of the monitoring commission of the Island Cooperation Plan for the Supply of Drinking Water (PICAAP) was held. Through this Plan, the Institution is promoting works "with which it will respond, once and for all, to one of the population's greatest concerns, which is water shortages and supply problems."
“There are actions that will come out earlier and others that will take a longer time to process and execute. In any case, both will improve the situation ”, explains the president of the Cabildo, Sergio Lloret López.
The Cabildo will tender in a few weeks the expansion and improvement works of the EDAM (seawater desalination stations) of Corralejo and Puerto del Rosario, in which 3,205,581 and 1,952,105 euros will be invested, respectively, more than five million total.
Likewise, the Cabildo plans to receive shortly the portable seawater desalination modules from the Corralejo, Puerto del Rosario and Gran Tarajal production centers, which have a production capacity of 2,000 cubic meters per day, they were hired by urgent procedure and they have been in operation for several weeks now.
The monitoring commission is made up of technical personnel from the Insular Institution, the CAAF and the Insular Water Council and, among other tasks, supervises the current state of preparation, drafting, processing or execution of the works contemplated by PICAAP.
The commission will promote the administrative files in this matter and will speed up all infrastructure works, will promote the processing of other larger works, thought and designed to definitively solve the problems of drinking water supply throughout the Island, in the long run term.
The lack of drinking water supply is a "historical" problem that is accentuated every year in the summer season, due to the increase in the holiday population and the temporary displacement of the population to scattered centers, which do not always have the water supply network. adequate drinking water to meet the demand in these specific increases in consumption, says the Cabildo.
