Health authorities have announced that the water supplied by the Mancomunidad de los Canales del Taibilla is now safe for human consumption in Torre Pacheco. This decision comes after significant cleaning and disinfection work was conducted in response to widespread flooding caused by Storm Alice. Areas previously under water restrictions can now fully utilise tap water for drinking and food preparation.

The restoration of normal water services follows two weeks of intensive efforts by the Mancomunidad, during which the complete incident was addressed in all affected territories. Water supply has been normalised in additional areas such as San Javier, San Pedro del Pinatar and Los Alcázares, allowing for a gradual return to normality in the region.

To ensure safety, the rehabilitation works included the cleaning and disinfecting of twenty kilometres of the new Cartagena canal, and essential tanks like El Mirador, Roldán, and Balsicas. These measures were carried out alongside contingency plans aimed at minimising the impact on local residents.

As of now, the water flows normally through the seventy kilometres of the Cartagena canal, which extends from La Pedrera Water Treatment Station in Alicante to the Tentegorra tanks in Cartagena. This ensures that the extraordinary consumption restrictions requested by local councils can soon be lifted, marking the conclusion of the issues caused by the storm since the incident occurred on the eleventh of October.
