Arafo Water Safe for Drinking During the Week, Restrictions in Place for Weekends

Arafo will once again be able to provide water for human intake next week, most likely starting from Monday, after the Health Department approved the analyses submitted by the water concessionaire company, Aqualia, and the Arafo City Council. This week, it was confirmed that the water is now safe for consumption after extensive efforts in installing filters and cleaning the Majuelo reservoir, the highest one in the area. The presence of the Clostridium perfringens bacteria on July 16 led to water restrictions in a significant portion of Arafo, including La Hidalga and El Carretón.

Even though the levels of the Clostridium perfringens bacteria have decreased, restrictions on drinking water have continued into the third week due to the lack of official confirmation from the Ministry of Health.

The Mayor, Juan Ramón Martín, stated, “We are in constant communication with the concessionaire and the Health Department. Our goal is not only to resolve the current issue but also to implement measures to prevent similar incidents in the future. Rest assured that we are working on a long-term solution and preventive measures for when this crisis is resolved.”

The Municipal Water Supply Service, operated by Aqualia, has announced that “the water consumption restrictions that began on Tuesday, July 16th (for drinking and food preparation) will remain in place in many parts of the town, including La Hidalga and El Carretón. However, water can be used for activities such as laundry, cleaning, and dishwashing.”

For the affected areas, the supplying company will continue to provide two water tankers suitable for human consumption. These tankers can be found on Rafael Clavijo Street (bus stop) and in La Hidalga Square between the hours of 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.
