Canal Gestión has reported that the submarine pipeline that carries drinking water to La Graciosa "registers a new breakdown located in the middle of its section".

The company points out that "they have launched the repair operation, taking into account that in this case the presence of specific divers is again necessary to carry out the work." Therefore, "the repair of the break will begin when they travel to the site, which will presumably occur between Sunday and Monday," they add.

Finally, Canal Gestión explains that "this situation, for the moment, is not significantly affecting the supply of the sister island."
