Almada to maintain reduced water pressure in August

The municipality of Almada has announced that it will maintain water supply with reduced pressure throughout August. This decision comes as the region prepares for continued high demand during the peak summer month.

Officials noted that while water reserves have been increasing, the pressure on consumption is expected to persist. This is attributed to several factors, including the anticipated rise in temperatures and the significant influx of beach tourists, both of which typically increase water usage.

The measure to supply water with reduced pressure is a precautionary step designed to ensure the sustainable management of water resources. It aims to mitigate potential shortages and ensure a consistent supply despite the heightened demand.

Almada's authorities are urging residents and visitors to be mindful of their water consumption during this period. The municipality is implementing these measures to safeguard water availability throughout the summer and beyond.
