The Town Council of Buenavista del Norte has announced restrictions on the use of drinking water in several areas of the upper part of the municipality after detecting fluoride concentrations exceeding permitted levels.
The measure affects residents in the neighbourhoods of Las Portelas, Las Lagunetas, El Palmar, Barranco Las Palmas, La Sabina, and the upper part of Casablanca.
In these areas, water cannot be used for drinking, cooking, or food preparation until further notice.
To ensure a basic supply, the council has established a distribution system, which will take place this week at the following locations and times: Tuesday and Friday, from 10:00 to 13:00, in the Plaza de Las Portelas and the Plaza de El Palmar.
The rest of the municipality is not affected by this restriction, as they receive water from other suppliers.
