Works on Avinguda d'Encamp have caused a water leak, cutting off drinking water supply across the entire Pas de la Casa parish.
The Comú d'Encamp reported that ongoing construction on the avenue triggered the incident, detected mid-afternoon. Initial efforts limited the cutoff to the avenue itself, but authorities later extended the interruption to the whole village to carry out repairs.
The full supply suspension began at 7:45pm, with officials estimating it would last about two hours. They expect to restore service shortly thereafter, though no exact time has been confirmed.
Both sources from the Comú indicated the disruption stems directly from the leak, requiring immediate intervention to avoid further issues. Residents in the parish faced the outage as crews addressed the problem on site.
No additional details emerged on the precise cause of the leak or the specific construction project involved. Updates from the Comú will confirm when water returns to normal.
