Waterless in Porto Cristo: How Did the Repair Get Out of Control?

Answer

How long can water outages last in Mallorca when a reservoir repair goes wrong?

In Mallorca, a planned repair can last much longer if deeper damage is discovered after a reservoir is emptied. What starts as a brief shutdown can turn into several days without reliable tap water, depending on the condition of the network and how quickly emergency supply can be organised. Porto Cristo is a recent example of that kind of escalation.
