Águas do Norte issued a statement indicating that heavy rainfall in recent days caused high levels of turbidity in the Tuela river water. Despite efforts at the Vinhais Water Treatment Plant (ETA), the exceptional situation led to difficulties in the quantity of water supplied.
To avoid localized issues with the quality of water distributed to the population, it was necessary to call upon the Firefighters for supply via water tanker trucks from an alternative source.
The water supply company is continuously monitoring the situation's evolution and undertaking all necessary efforts to ensure treatment effectiveness and minimize any potential problems with the quantity and quality of the treated water.
Águas do Norte apologizes for any inconvenience caused by this situation, resulting from adverse weather conditions, and thanks the entire population for their understanding.
