Bad weather: SMAS de Leiria will buy generators and invest in communications

Notícias de Coimbra3 September 2026 at 16:15

The Municipal Water and Sanitation Services of Leiria (SMAS) will purchase generators for their facilities and invest in communications. This decision comes following bad weather that may have affected the services' infrastructure.

The measure aims to ensure the operation of SMAS facilities during emergency situations caused by weather conditions. The purchase of generators will allow services to remain operational even in case of power failures.

The investments in communications aim to improve SMAS de Leiria's response capacity in crisis situations. These improvements are part of a plan to reinforce the resilience of municipal services against adverse weather conditions.
