The municipal institution sought to clarify the details of the intervention undertaken to meet the water needs of the residents of the Ferreira area, who were experiencing a supply shortage. The operation involved obtaining water from an irrigation outlet, which was approximately 80% full, and this water was directly used to address the needs of the affected residents without being transported to the treatment plant.
The statement denies that the water was extracted directly from the bed of the Parga River or that water was taken from its course, as the intervention was carried out through the aforementioned irrigation outlet. The Council emphasizes that the operation would not have proceeded if there had been any risk to the river or its environmental surroundings.
The primary objective of the intervention was to address a basic need of the Ferreira community, ensuring water supply for those affected. Therefore, the Council deems it important that the information disseminated about this operation accurately reflects what happened and avoids interpretations that could lead to confusion.
This clarification aims to provide the public with verified information about the operation and its purpose: to meet the supply needs of the residents of the Ferreira area who were without water.
