From Monday, we will have even less water in the tap
The outage periods in the water towers are getting longer: closures will now take place between 10 a.m. and noon compared to noon/2 p.m. currently. In recent weeks, the schedule was difficult to follow. Technical outages continued at Mamoudzou, particularly due to insufficient production. According to the director of DEALM in Flash Info, this is normal at the end of the dry season. River catchments and drilling produce less. For the capital for example, this is the case for the Kawéni 1, Kawéni 2 and Kwalé boreholes. To compensate, the hill reservoirs are used, they are currently half full, the average for this time of the year.
Added to this is the more general problem of the annual increase in consumption, with 2,000 cubic meters of water per day consumed more per year. In the long term according to Flash Info, the solutions remain the arrival by 2026 of the Ironi Bé desalination plant, the repair of leaks which cause a third of production to disappear, without forgetting the sixth and seventh drilling campaign currently in progress.

Figures can be found on our website.
