Endesa have stated that today’s power cuts at the desalination plant in Arrecife, to carry out maintenance work, will last “only six and a half hours”.
In the statement from Endesa the company state that the power cut will last “for a maximum of one and a half hours in the morning and five hours in the afternoon”. “It is a scheduled interruption whose date and time has been set by consensus for a long time with Canal Gestión Lanzarote and the Water Consortium of Lanzarote.”.
The power cuts will be carried out from 6:30am to 8am in the morning and from 3pm to 8pm in the afternoon and will mean large areas of Lanzarote won’t have running water during that time.
“The rest of the day users will have normal supply. The company will try to shorten as much as possible the initially planned schedules, speeding up the works to cause the least inconvenience and reminds users that the punctual works in the network are necessary for maintenance and improvements, a circumstance that has an impact in the short and medium term on the quality of supply.”.
Yesterday, Canal Gestión, reminded residents that the power cuts will also result in water cuts during those periods.
