Arafo to Lift Drinking Water Restrictions for Half of Population

The Mayor of Arafo, Juan Ramón Martín, announced that the drinking water restrictions in the municipality will be lifted on Wednesday. This decision comes after the discovery of a problem in the filters of the Majuelo reservoir, which led to the presence of bacteria, specifically Clostridium perfringens, in the water supply. The necessary measures were taken to ensure the elimination of the bacteria before lifting the restrictions.

These restrictions were put in place by the Health Department when the bacteria was detected in the headwaters of the Majuelo reservoir, which is the highest point in Arafo. This same bacteria had caused a 24-hour water shortage in the municipality back in October. Aqualia, the water management company, undertook the cleaning of filters and water quality checks, but the process took longer than expected due to the extent of the damage to the filters.

Mayor Juan Ramón Martín also highlighted the proactive approach taken to address the situation, mentioning that daily water analyses are carried out by Aqualia to ensure the safety of the water supply. He acknowledged the efforts of the association Mi Barrio El Carmen Se Mueve in requesting an extraordinary session to discuss the water situation, emphasising the importance of maintaining transparency and addressing any risks effectively.

Due to the presence of clostridium bacteria in the water supply network, residents of certain areas in Arafo were advised not to consume tap water, including for cooking. The affected neighbourhoods include La Vera, La Morra, El Barrero, as well as specific streets in the town centre. Aqualia will provide water through designated tanks in Arafo and La Hidalga, with additional services arranged by the City Council to assist vulnerable residents.
