A pipe fault in Escaldes-Engordany's thermal water storage tanks has disrupted hot water supply to residents along Avinguda Copríncep de Gaulle and Carrer Engordany.
Council technicians responded after residents reported the issue on Wednesday morning. The problem stemmed from a damaged pipe that drained the tanks completely, halting thermal water distribution. The local authority, which oversees hot thermal supplies separately from potable water services, confirmed the outage.
Workers have begun refilling the tanks and anticipate full restoration within the next hour. Capasa, responsible for cold drinking water, received some inquiries but directed them to the council, as the incident does not involve its network.
No additional information on the pipe damage's cause or precise number of affected households was available.
