Can the showers on the beaches of Malaga be used this summer?

It's the million-dollar question, the one most frequently asked by readers: after the heavy rains in March, will there be showers this summer on the beaches of Málaga? Well, it seems that the answer will be positive. The popular spokesperson at Málaga City Council, Elisa Pérez de Siles, participated yesterday in the debate program Málaga a Examen, on Canal Málaga. When questioned by journalists about this issue, the councilwoman stated: "Initially, everything indicates that there will be showers this summer on the beaches."

"Fortunately, the objective data is favorable, the water storage in the reservoirs is good and it seems that we will have water in the beach showers," added Pérez de Siles. With Easter approaching, and the possibility of good weather and a high influx of bathers, the councilwoman declined to give a timeline for announcing the decision, but hinted that it is coming soon: "Surely my colleague Teresa Porras (Councilor for Beaches) will give you news soon."

Regarding this, the spokesperson highlighted that the government team is finalizing a report on the city's water situation after the heavy rainfall in March. "The decisions that are made are not the result of chance, but of very thoughtful and responsible reflections." "Just as when drastic decisions were made during the drought, however tough they may have seemed to us, now the data is positive, we have had a quite rainy winter and spring, and although we are going to have those services, we must continue to be responsible."

At this point, Pérez de Siles also referred to the upcoming start of the capture of the 'underground reservoir,' the large well located near the mouth of the Guadalhorce, next to the airport runways, which will provide a good portion of the water managed by Emasa each day to supply the city. And incidentally, preserve the reservoir resources for when they are needed.
