Rincón de la Victoria lifts drought restrictions and asks to maintain responsible water consumption

The Municipality of Rincón de la Victoria has issued a new municipal decree that eliminates the water restrictions applied during the drought, following the official declaration of normal hydrological conditions, although the City Council insists on the need to maintain a responsible and sustainable use of water resources.

The document, signed by Mayor Francisco Salado, comes after the Junta de Andalucía decreed on April 10 the end of the drought situation in the Andalusian Mediterranean Basin demarcation, including the Axarquía territorial unit. As a result, all previously established limitations by the Municipality are no longer in effect.

However, the decree emphasizes that this new regulation should not be interpreted as a permission for excessive water consumption, therefore reminding residents and visitors of the obligation to comply with the current municipal ordinance on efficient water management.

Among the main recommendations, the City Council highlights avoiding unnecessary consumption, repairing leaks promptly, using low-consumption systems, and moderating water use in domestic tasks and filling swimming pools. Emphasis is also placed on promoting daily saving habits.

Additionally, the Municipality has acknowledged the effort made by the citizens during the months of drought, thanking the collective commitment shown in a particularly complex period for the management of water resources.

With this new decree, Rincón de la Victoria enters a stage of normality regarding the water supply, but continues to focus on citizen awareness to ensure efficient water use in the long term.
