The acting mayor of La Guancha, Antonio Hernández, has announced this Wednesday the restriction until further notice on the consumption of tap water for the entire population, both for drinking and for cooking or preparing food, given the “critical” levels presented by the deposits.
Hernández, reports the local corporation in a statement, has ordered to stop the desalination of part of the water that enters the tanks to incorporate raw water and thus be able to recover the levels as soon as possible.
The Department of Water of the local Administration tries to guarantee the supply to all residents for the development of domestic tasks and personal hygiene, avoiding “a greater problem for the population in general,” he adds.
The priority, the councilor points out, is that “water is not lacking in any home”, and he advances that next week analyzes will be carried out to determine whether the restriction should continue for the entire population or not.
These analyzes, he clarifies, cannot be carried out immediately because we have to wait for the homogenization process of the treated and untreated water, which began to enter the tanks this Wednesday.
