Prolonged Water Outage in Arco de Calheta
After a social media post by the Calheta City Council, the ongoing challenge of water shortage in Arco de Calheta has caught the attention of newspapers like Jornal da Madeira or Diário de NotÃcias. While it remains unclear how many households are affected, it appears to be a major issue that can not be resolved within short.
Heading over to Reddit, first reports about no or unreliable running water appeared over a week ago.
Calheta City Council Reacts
Calheta City Council now released an official statement on social media. While no specific reason for the incident was mentioned, it is promised that the city is committed to resolving the issue shortly. Nevertheless, comments on social media indicate that this issue has persisted for over two weeks.
Residents are Left Unaware of the Reasons
First-hand reports from residents indicate that the issue first appeared during the heavy forest fires that hit the island a while back. While back then the water supply was only being cut during the night time, the issue now persists consistently.
None of the residents could determine the exact cause of the issue. Undoubtedly, this constitutes a significant inconvenience during the Advent season. They can only hope for a swift response from the city and anticipate clear communication on the resolution soon.
