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

Answer

Why did Porto Cristo run out of tap water during a planned reservoir cleaning?

The interruption was supposed to be short, but once the central reservoir was drained, the water company found more serious damage in pipes and tanks than expected. That turned a routine cleaning into a multi-day supply problem in parts of Porto Cristo. Higher areas such as Ca na Biela were affected especially badly.
