Ibiza Races to Restore Infrastructure After Record Downpour as City Seeks Disaster Aid

The municipal request aims to unlock state compensation, with engineers focused on the port’s flooded pumping station and power equipment.

Overview

  • An integrated operation of about 270 personnel and 60 vehicles remains deployed under Cecopi coordination to clear water, debris and stabilize key sites.
  • The UME is pumping out the CLH/Exolum fuel logistics plant and port areas as technicians tackle inundated transformers and prepare external controls for the Vila wastewater pumping station.
  • Officials report potable water service is maintained despite overnight electrical faults at desalination and treatment plants, which were restored without prolonged interruptions.
  • Airport access on the EI‑800 stays closed for structural checks, schools in affected zones remain shut, several beaches show red flags, and most power is back except for outages near the Marina and port.
  • Authorities tally roughly 280 incidents on Ibiza with no reported fatalities on the island, two serious injuries and multiple rescues, while a separate fatal stabbing in central Valencia during the storm alert is under police investigation.
