CAAF Replaces Over 7,000 Meters of Networks in Antigua Municipality
“Cooperation between the Island Council, CAAF and the town halls is key to meeting the real needs of the population.”
The Water Supply Consortium of Fuerteventura (CAAF) has completed the replacement and upgrade of 7,200 metres of water‑distribution pipelines across several zones of the municipality of Antigua, financed with its own resources.
The works were carried out in coordination with the Antigua Town Hall, through its Water Department led by Fernando Manuel Estupiñán, with the aim of optimizing the distribution network, reducing water losses and guaranteeing a more efficient and sustainable service for residents.
Project scope
- Areas covered: Triquivijate, Valles Ortega, Casilla Morales, Agua de Bueyes, Pozo Negro, Majada Blanca, Las Pocetas, Red Los Alares, among others.
- Materials used: PVC and polyethylene (PE‑100) pipes of various diameters, selected to match the specific requirements of each network segment.
Commitment to Service Improvement
“We continue working hand‑in‑hand with the town halls to modernise Fuerteventura’s hydraulic infrastructure and ensure a stable, high‑quality water supply in every municipality on the island. These actions demonstrate CAAF’s commitment to efficiency and responsible use of water resources,” said Islander Water Minister Adargoma Hernández.
“Cooperation between the Island Council, CAAF and the town halls is key to meeting the real needs of the population. Investing in network renewal is an investment in residents’ well‑being and the territory’s sustainability,” added Fuerteventura Island Council President Lola García.
Institutional Collaboration
Fernando Manuel Estupiñán, head of the Water Department of the Antigua Town Hall, thanked CAAF and the Island Council, noting that “this intervention has improved system efficiency and moved us toward a more modern, growth‑adapted management of the municipality.”
Looking Ahead
With this project, CAAF reaffirms its dedication to the continuous improvement of the island’s hydraulic infrastructure and the optimisation of available water resources, contributing to a water‑management model that is more sustainable, effective and closely aligned with the needs of the community.
