Pilar de la Horadada’s coastal area experienced a significant water supply disruption starting on Wednesday evening due to a pipe burst in the general network, which dates back to the early nineteen nineties. The failure occurred in the main supply pipe serving coastal regions including El Mojón, Las Villas, Las Higuericas, Torre de la Horadada, Río Mar, and Mil Palmeras.

Prior to the main failure, residents reported minimal water flow from taps since one thirty in the afternoon. Local authorities announced on Thursday that Acciona, the company responsible for the service, was working alongside the Ayuntamiento to restore supply as soon as possible. Municipal sources indicated that work continued throughout the night, with a piece of ductile iron built to specifications being crafted and fitted to connect several pipes.

To assist residents during the outage, two water refill stations were set up from eight in the morning until six in the evening at Sánchez Lozano Square in Torre de la Horadada and the Pilar de la Horadada fairgrounds. Moreover, the municipal sports centre provided facilities for personal hygiene. Reports suggest that more than one hundred fifty residents visited these stations without long queues, allowing them to collect water as they arrived.

By five in the afternoon, water circulation had resumed in opened mains. However, the Ayuntamiento could not yet confirm that the supply had been completely restored. It was estimated that full water availability would be achieved around three o’clock. By four o’clock, the supply had been successfully established with residents in Las Higuericas and El Mojón being among the first to receive water, gradually reaching homes throughout the afternoon.
