Burst Pipe in Palma's Old Town: Carrer Oms Underwater — A Wake-up Call for Deteriorating Pipes

Answer

Why does Palma need to renew its water pipes faster?

Repeated failures suggest that parts of Palma's water network are ageing and no longer as reliable as they should be. A faster renewal plan would help reduce emergency repairs, water outages and disruption for residents and businesses. It would also make it easier to manage the system in a city with many older streets and buildings.
