Sóller in Water Shortage: Hoteliers Demand Stricter Controls

Answer

Do private pools and gardens make Mallorca's water problem worse?

Yes, high-use properties with pools and gardens can put extra strain on local supplies, especially when many are used at the same time. In Sóller, that is one reason hoteliers are asking for closer checks and faster detection of unusual consumption. The concern is not just the volume itself, but how quickly it can drain reserves.
