Sóller Imposes Emergency Water Ban as Supplies Dwindle to 10 Days

Officials warn of temporary shutoffs without imminent rain.

Overview

  • An official decree bans filling pools, irrigating gardens, and washing vehicles or terraces with municipal drinking water.
  • The Son Angelats municipal sports center closed its pools, and all beach showers in Sóller have been turned off.
  • Mayor Miquel Nadal says current consumption exceeds inflows from Tramuntana mountain sources, signaling an unsustainable balance.
  • The town estimates roughly ten days of potable water remain and signals that stricter rationing or brief supply interruptions could follow.
  • Emaya measurements place the Gorg Blau and Cúber reservoirs at about 31% capacity, while nearby municipalities such as Deià have already imposed scheduled cutoffs and used tanker deliveries.
