The Almada City Council expressed its willingness to receive water through the Castelo de Bode dam, considering the solution viable and beneficial for the municipality. The local authority said it "looks favorably" on this possibility of water supply.

The municipality of Almada has faced a significant water supply crisis in recent months, which prompted the search for alternative solutions to ensure water provision to the population.

The local authority revealed that it has been working for almost a month with EPAL, the Portuguese Company of Free Waters, on developing a possible contract with the company for water supply.

The specific details of the contract under negotiation have not yet been disclosed, nor have the expected timelines for implementing this supply solution in the municipality of Almada.
