Water Restriction Maintained in the Mountain Sector
- Once again, thank you to all residents who were very careful with their water consumption over the weekend, in all sectors!
- The ban on potable water use remains in effect in the mountain sector: the reservoir levels have increased, but not yet enough to be out of risk. We will reassess later in the week, depending on the amount of rain we receive. Therefore, you still cannot water your flowers or garden beds with a hose, wash your car, or fill your pool.
- The ban is lifted in the village sector: however, we ask people in the village and well owners to continue to be careful with their consumption.
- Tanker trucks will continue their supply rotation today. The situation will be re-evaluated at the end of the day.
- DON’T FORGET! We must maintain a sufficient water reserve not only for residents’ needs, but also to prepare for any eventuality of a forest fire.
- We continue to monitor the situation very closely and will keep you informed of its evolution.
Outdoor Fire Ban Lifted
In accordance with SOPFEU’s fire danger index, which is currently moderate (green color), the ban on all open-air fires has been lifted.
However, we remind you that you have a legal obligation to request a burning permit before lighting any outdoor fire (open-air fire, fire with spark arrestor, fireworks, etc.).
