IMPORTANT NOTICE: WATER QUALITY

In recent days, we have received feedback regarding a salty taste, reduced soap lathering, and staining.
We are sharing accurate and up-to-date information:

Comparison of Well Salinity Levels:

Moyo Well (Crucero)
May 2025: 3,130 ppm
2026: 3,120 ppm
It remains practically unchanged (it has always been brackish).

Soccer Field Well
July 2025: 241 ppm (freshwater)
2026: 2,500 ppm
This is where the significant change lies.
What does this mean?
The water is NOT dirty or contaminated.
The change is due to an increase in salts (salinity).
This occurs as a result of:
drought
low well levels
increased water demand
As water levels drop, water with a higher salt content enters the system (a natural phenomenon).
Why does it feel different?
Soap does not lather as effectively.
Hair may feel "heavy."
Limescale buildup or staining may occur.
This is caused by the salts, not by dirt.
Important Note:
This behavior had already been anticipated and warned about when the drop in well levels was first detected.
What can you do?
For consumption: Use bottled water; when washing your hair, rinse it at the very end of your shower to ensure it remains soft.
To protect appliances/equipment: Consider installing filters specifically designed to remove salts (conventional filters do not eliminate salinity).
Avoid wasting water:
do not hose down streets
repair leaks
avoid unnecessary flushing/draining
We Need Everyone's Support:
Today, more than ever, we need to use water responsibly.
The water wasted at lower elevations is the water that is missing at higher elevations.
We continue to monitor the situation and work toward improving our service.
