- A temporary repair is providing water access until 6 p.m.
- Water service will be intermittently restored for collection purposes between 8 p.m. and 11 p.m.
- Full repairs are expected to resume January 2, with complete service restoration to follow.
Specialist technicians are on-site, but locating the necessary replacement part has proven difficult with supply warehouses closed for the New Year’s holiday. A provisional repair has been implemented, restoring water service to affected homes until 6 p.m. this Thursday.

Following this, the water will be shut off again at 11 p.m. until definitive repairs can be completed on January 2.
What are residents supposed to do without water? Those impacted by the water breakdown can access the showers and bathrooms at the Municipal Fitness Center for free starting this Friday, January 2.
Authorities have arranged for residents to utilize the facilities at the Municipal Fitness Center free of charge starting this Friday, January 2, providing a convenient solution for those needing access to showers and restrooms.
