Almada will not extend alert situation after water supply failures

SOL28 August 2026 at 14:42

The alert situation in Almada due to water supply failures ends next Monday and will not be extended. Almada's SMAS reported that the municipality's reservoirs had an average capacity of 77%, which allowed the alert to end without needing an extension.

The water supply failures prompted the declaration of an alert situation in the municipality of Almada, which now comes to an end without the possibility of extension. The situation will be closed as planned.

The Municipal Water and Sewage Services of Almada guaranteed that the water supplied to the population remains safe for human consumption, dispelling concerns about the quality of supply during the alert period.
