CAAF Completes Largest Water Network Upgrade in Fuerteventura, Adding Nearly 40,000 Meters
The Water Supply Consortium of Fuerteventura (CAAF) has finished an ambitious plan to renew and expand hydraulic infrastructure, installing close to 40,000 metres of new pipelines across several municipalities on the island. This represents the largest network investment ever undertaken by the CAAF since its inception, aimed at improving supply and guaranteeing a more efficient and sustainable service for residents.
The works have covered virtually the entire island:
- Puerto del Rosario – more than 20,000 metres of new pipelines in areas such as Tetir, La Asomada, Tesjuate, El Time, Ampuyenta, Los Estancos, Casillas del Ángel, Majada Marcial, and various streets in the capital.
- La Oliva – over 4,500 metres in Corralejo, El Cotillo, Vallebrón, Villaverde, and the Fimapaire ravine.
- Antigua – around 6,000 metres in Triquivijate, Agua de Bueyes, and Casillas Morales.
- Betancuria – 2,000 metres.
- Tuineje – 2,840 metres.
- Pájara an additional 1,580 metres.
The total of all interventions brings the figure to approximately 40,000 metres of renewed or newly installed pipelines, a milestone unprecedented in CAAF’s history.
“We are witnessing 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 citizens, 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
The CAAF notes that these actions are part of a broader strategy to modernize the island’s hydraulic infrastructure, aiming to optimize resources, reduce breakdowns, and improve water quality. With this historic intervention, the Consortium reinforces its dedication to the people of Fuerteventura and to the future of island water management.
