Overview
- In La Plata, ABSA cited an electrical failure at the 44 and 25 borehole that cut supply in a defined quadrant, yet many blocks across multiple barrios report very low or no water for consecutive days.
- Households describe buying bottled water, installing cisterns or booster pumps, and depending on relatives to manage basic hygiene, cooking, and flushing.
- In Badajoz’s Ciudad Jardín, several pipe ruptures reportedly damaged the area’s pressure group, and Aqualia told the council repairs were finished by 6 a.m., but residents say service has not been restored.
- Local businesses, including a butcher shop, a hair salon, and a bar, are operating with bottled or stored water, citing hygiene challenges and added costs.
- Neighborhood associations characterize the shortages as recurrent during festive periods and link them to structural undercapacity rather than isolated incidents.
