Extended Restrictions: Two Weeks of Uncertainty
The inhabitants of Villafranca de los Barros, a municipality of more than 12,000 souls, have endured two harrowing weeks without being able to consume tap water. The restrictions, imposed by the Public Health Area of the Ministry of Health and Social Services, have generated deep concern among the population.
The Mayor Demands Explanations
The mayor of Villafranca, Francisco Jiménez, has denounced the lack of transparency and communication on the part of the Extremadura Government. He has demanded that someone responsible appear before the public to explain the reasons for the restrictions and the delay in lifting them.
The Mystery of Turbidity
The origin of turbidity in water remains an enigma. Despite the analyzes carried out, the concessionaire company, Acciona, has not been able to identify the cause. This uncertainty has made it difficult to restore supply.
Urgent Analysis: A Wait of 10 to 12 Days
The Ministry of Health and Social Services has announced that it will carry out an exhaustive analysis of the water to determine its drinkability. The results are expected within 10 to 12 days, which prolongs the anguish of the neighbors.
Citizens Clamor for Information
The inhabitants of Villafranca are tired of the lack of information and unfulfilled promises. They demand that the authorities be held accountable and provide them with a clear and detailed explanation of the situation.
A Tanker Truck: A Temporary Solution
Faced with desperation, the City Council has initiated the procedures to distribute water through a tanker truck. This palliative measure aims to alleviate the shortage, but it does not solve the underlying problem.
A Call to Responsibility
Mayor Jiménez has called on the Extremadura Regional Government to assume its responsibility and take urgent measures to guarantee the supply of drinking water to the citizens of Villafranca de los Barros. The health and well-being of the population depends on it.
