Canal Gestión's 'Pressure Reduction Plan' in Lanzarote

This week, a 'Pressure reduction plan' has begun to be implemented in a generalized way in Lanzarote, reports Canal Gestión Lanzarote and the Water Consortium of Lanzarote and thus informs subscribers and citizens in general. A measure in order to "avoid possible scheduled shortages in some population centers", they collect.

The plan that affects practically the entire island, including rural, tourist and the capital itself. However, those subscribers to the service who have hydros in their homes and facilities do not have to be affected. However, those who lack it may notice a lower pressure in their taps, especially at night.

The execution and pace of the plan is carried out in "function of the demand" that is being registered in the different supply sectors and according to "the characteristics" of the distribution network, they add. The general rule established is that the maneuvers to reduce pressures are carried out in "night hours", which is when there is less need for water, they clarify.

This pressure regulation is being carried out "provisionally manually" by Canal Gestión Lanzarote operators until it is possible to automate the system with the "acquisition of the necessary equipment" by the Water Consortium of Lanzarote, they conclude.
