Aguas de Lanzarote y La Graciosa informs that the episode of high temperatures recorded during the last few days, combined with the greater supply needs typical of August and the summer period, is making it difficult to maintain the usual storage levels of the island's supply system.
The water supply in Lanzarote and La Graciosa relies on a network of storage tanks that regulates distribution throughout the island. From the main tanks of Zonzamas, Arrecife, and Las Breñas, water is distributed to smaller head tanks in the different municipalities and population centers, where the demand from homes, businesses, and services is managed.
These secondary tanks play a fundamental role in the system's operation; however, during episodes of very high demand like the current one, with exceptional temperatures even in a period like August, which is already a month of higher consumption, some tanks cannot sufficiently recover their storage levels between one supply period and the next.
For this reason, Aguas de Lanzarote y La Graciosa maintains a permanent monitoring of the levels' evolution, continuously analyzing the system's behavior to adopt, when necessary, specific measures in the system's normal operation to preserve its balance and provide the best possible continuity in the distribution of available water.
Therefore, modifications and adjustments are temporarily being applied to the planning of programmed suspensions, which can be consulted on the Information Portal of Aguas de Lanzarote y La Graciosa. Any updates that may occur will be communicated through the service's official channels, such as its web portal.
Aguas de Lanzarote y La Graciosa reminds that citizen collaboration is especially important during these types of specific episodes. Responsible and prudent use of water, especially during the times of day with the highest demand, contributes to sustaining the recovery of storage levels and maintaining the balance of the supply system.
The Water Consortium will continue to permanently monitor the evolution of the situation, adopting the necessary measures to provide the best service, and will keep the public informed of any developments that may occur.
Aguas de Lanzarote y La Graciosa thanks "the understanding and collaboration of everyone while these exceptional conditions are maintained and recalls the importance of making responsible use of water, thus contributing to preserving the balance of production and distribution, and minimizing the effects on the entire population".
