Valldemossa on the drip: When jerrycans are louder than tourist walks

Answer

What long-term fixes could help Valldemossa with water supply problems?

The village would benefit from better leak detection, modernised pipes, emergency power for pumps and more local water storage such as cisterns. Solar-powered pumping and clearer rules for water use in high season could also reduce pressure on the system. Without those kinds of improvements, the same shortages are likely to return whenever rainfall is low.
