CAAF Replaces Over 7,000 Meters of Network in Antigua Municipality
The Fuerteventura Water Supply Consortium (CAAF) has completed the replacement and upgrade of 7,200 metres of supply pipelines in various areas of the municipality of Antigua, as part of its self‑financed action plan, the entity announced in a press release.
The works were carried out in coordination with the Antigua City Council, through its Water Department led by Fernando Manuel Estupiñán, with the aim of optimising the distribution network and reducing water losses, thereby guaranteeing a more efficient and sustainable service for residents.
Interventions took place in several zones of the municipality, including Triquivijate, Valles Ortega, Casilla Morales, Agua de Bueyes, Pozo Negro, Majada Blanca, Las Pocetas and the Los Alares network, among others. Materials such as PVC and polyethylene (PE‑100) of various diameters were used, tailored to the specific needs of each pipeline segment.
Commitment to Service Improvement
The island’s Water Minister, Adargoma Hernández, highlighted that
“We continue to work hand in hand with the municipalities to modernise Fuerteventura’s hydraulic infrastructure and ensure a stable, high‑quality supply across all island municipalities. These actions reflect CAAF’s commitment to efficiency and the responsible use of water resources.”
The President of the Fuerteventura Cabildo, Lola García, added that
“Cooperation between the Cabildo, CAAF and the municipalities is key to meeting the real needs of the population. Investing in network renewal is investing in the well‑being of residents and the sustainability of the territory.”
Institutional Collaboration
Fernando Manuel Estupiñán, head of the Water Department of the Antigua City Council, thanked CAAF and the Cabildo for their collaboration, emphasizing that
“This operation has improved system efficiency and moved us toward a more modern management approach that matches the municipality’s growth.”
A Bet on Efficiency and the Future
With this project, CAAF reaffirms its commitment to the continuous improvement of the island’s hydraulic infrastructure and the optimisation of available resources, contributing to a water‑management model that is more sustainable, effective, and close to the community.
