Overview

• Both Banda do Río (Bueu) and Galizano (Cantabria) remain closed after late‑week analyses again found contamination above safety thresholds.
• In Bueu, Sergas reported E. coli at 950 NMP/100 ml and enterococci at 53, prompting a renewed red flag and a municipal order for Aqualia to verify wastewater and stormwater collectors.
• Aqualia sealed manhole covers along the Bispo river corridor after evidence of manipulation, while the mayor said sabotage cannot be ruled out pending the investigation.
• Bueu plans to hire a specialist firm next week to trace possible discharges and has sought a meeting with the regional government on upgrading Pazos Fontenla to renew aging sanitation and add a separate rainwater network.
• In Galizano, Environmental Health sampling on multiple days showed very high fecal contamination, and four environmental samples tested positive for rotavirus, with 15 outbreak cases identified and all patients discharged.
