On Tuesday, October twenty-first, health authorities confirmed that the tap water in San Javier and Los Alcázares is safe for human consumption. This follows extensive work conducted by the Taibilla Channels Consortium, which was necessary to restore normal water conditions after mud infiltrations caused by Storm Alice. Both municipalities join San Pedro del Pinatar, where a similar declaration was made hours earlier.

These neighbourhoods are supplied by the El Mirador system, the most affected section of the canal. Residents in San Javier, San Pedro del Pinatar, and Los Alcázares can now use tap water fully, including for drinking and food preparation. With this announcement, the Taibilla Channels Consortium has concluded the incident affecting these major areas, while work continues to restore normal water supply to the Torre Pacheco and Murcia districts also impacted by the storm.

The recovery efforts involved intensive cleaning and disinfection of twenty kilometres of canal, as well as various reservoirs, including those at El Mirador and Roldán. Daily updates have been provided to municipal representatives and health authorities regarding the ongoing tasks and contingency measures implemented to alleviate the situation for residents.

In the Torre Pacheco and Murcia districts, clean water is now flowing through municipal networks. Local water services must perform the necessary quality testing, while the Health Directorate will determine the permitted uses of the water. As of Tuesday evening, the mayor of Torre Pacheco, Pedro Angel Roca, confirmed that residents in the San Cayetano district can now use water for showers and other appliances.
