WATER RATIONING
JESÚS MARÍA CLAROS, VelezMalaga’s councillor for Water, reported on Fri day, November 3, that the water cutoff hours had been increased in the mu nicipality. Accompanied by Juan García, the councillor for Social Services, and Javier Portero, the manager of Aqualia, Claros explained that the drought situation continues to be ‘extreme’, making these new cuts necessary. A statement from the town council clarified: ‘Cur rently, the supply from the Viñuela reservoir has been reduced to 30 litres per second, which the Trapiche ETAP is receiving’. “This means that the en tire contribution of the reservoir is to supply the towns of the Benamargosa Valley”, he pointed out. As a result: “We barely get anything,” Claros added. What is the current flow of water to VelezMalaga?

WATER CUTS: The town council made the announcement to extend the cut-off hours.
Water for VelezMalaga comes from the Viñuela reservoir, Guadalhorce (the EMASA system) and two of the emergency wells of the Chíllar River. “These reductions mean that our municipality now only has 182.8 l/s for the month of November,
which has caused us to have to extend the supply cutoff hours,” the council lor insisted. Claros conveyed the im perative need for residents to save water at home. “We must be the first savers, be cause this way we could shorten the restrictions.”
He indicated: “The data is very clear: in the month of October we only man aged to save 8 per cent compared to October 2022, which is not enough with respect to the objec tive of 20 per cent set by the government of Andalu cia.”
