40,000 Metres of Pipelines Upgraded in Fuerteventura

CAAF completes the largest water‑network renewal and expansion in its history to bring the service closer to excellence

The Water Supply Consortium of Fuerteventura (CAAF) has finished an ambitious plan to renew and expand hydraulic infrastructure, installing around 40,000 metres of new pipelines across several municipalities on the island. This represents the biggest network investment ever made by the consortium since its creation, aimed at improving supply and guaranteeing a more efficient and sustainable service for residents.

The works have covered almost the entire island. In the municipality of Puerto del Rosario alone, more than 20,000 metres of new pipelines were installed in areas such as Tetir, La Asomada, Tesjuate, El Time, Ampuyenta, Los Estancos, Casillas del Ángel, Majada Marcial and several streets of the capital.

In La Oliva, over 4,500 metres of network were laid, with works in Corralejo, El Cotillo, Vallebrón, Villaverde and the Fimapaire ravine. Additional projects include:

• Antigua – more than 6,000 metres of pipes in localities like Triquivijate, Agua de Bueyes and Casillas Morales
• Betancuria – 2,000 metres
• Tuineje – 2,840 metres
• Pájara – 1,580 metres

Altogether, the total length of renewed and newly installed pipelines reaches approximately 40,000 metres, marking an unprecedented milestone in CAAF’s history.

“We are facing the largest network renewal and expansion ever carried out by the Consortium. This investment not only enhances the capacity to distribute drinking water but also reduces losses in the system, strengthens service security, and ensures we can better meet the needs of a growing island. It is a decisive step toward a more modern, reliable, and efficient system for all Majoreros,” said Adargoma Hernández, CAAF’s Managing Director.

“Water is a vital resource for Fuerteventura’s economic and social development. With these works we answer a historic demand from the community, guaranteeing that families, farmers and businesses have a safer, higher‑quality service. This effort reflects the Cabildo’s commitment to ensuring a fairer present and a sustainable future for all municipalities,” emphasized Lola García, President of the Cabildo of Fuerteventura.

Commitment to the Future

CAAF notes that these works are part of a broader strategy to modernize the island’s hydraulic infrastructure, aimed at optimizing resources, reducing breakdowns, and improving supply quality. With this historic intervention, the consortium reinforces its commitment to the people of Fuerteventura and to the future of island water management.
