2,000 Meters of Pipelines Installed in Betancuria
The CAAF carries out water supply improvement works in the oldest capital of the Canary Islands
The Water Supply Consortium of Fuerteventura (CAAF) continues its work to upgrade the hydraulic network in the municipality of Betancuria, in collaboration with the town hall.
To date, 2,000 meters of new pipelines have been installed at various points across the municipality as part of the island‑wide modernization plan for water infrastructure, aimed at reducing losses and improving supply efficiency.
The works are being carried out in the settlements of Valle de Santa Inés, Red Aguas Verdes, Betancuria, La Vega, and Campo Viejo, where old conduits are being replaced with new PVC and PE‑100 pipes, materials that are more resistant and durable under pressure and local terrain conditions.
Works that guarantee better service in rural areas
These improvements will minimize breakdowns, reduce leaks, and improve water pressure, directly benefiting residents and agricultural operations in the municipality.
The intervention is part of CAAF’s commitment to the progressive renewal of the island’s water network, especially in rural zones where infrastructure is older.
“We continue working so that all municipalities of Fuerteventura, even the smallest ones, have a stable and quality water supply. These works reflect the commitment of the Cabildo and CAAF to a modern and efficient water management,” said Lola García, President of the Cabildo of Fuerteventura.
“CAAF keeps carrying out actions across the island. In Betancuria we have already installed 2,000 meters of new conduits and will keep advancing to reinforce the network and guarantee supply throughout the municipality,” noted Adargoma Hernández, Water Councilor.
Commitment to sustainability
CAAF maintains an active island‑wide investment plan for hydraulic infrastructure, which includes pipeline renewal, upgrading regulating reservoirs, and incorporating intelligent control systems.
With the cooperation of local town halls, the consortium is moving toward a more sustainable and efficient water‑use model, adapted to the needs of an island with limited water resources.
