Oliva restores potable water following Adam storm floods

The municipality of Oliva has announced that tap water is once again safe for human consumption, 17 days after the floods caused by storm Adam. Following the restoration of service on October 21 in Oliva Nova and the southern part of the municipality, local authorities confirmed that recent analyses show the water is suitable for drinking, cooking, and food preparation.

However, restrictions remain in place for the water network at Oliva beach, which is managed by APPOSA. Residents are advised not to use this specific supply for consumption, though it remains suitable for other uses. During the initial period of the crisis, the Red Cross and the local council established several water distribution points to ensure supply to affected areas.

In parallel, the Júcar Hydrographic Confederation (CHJ) is preparing new emergency works in Oliva to repair damage to riverbeds. These interventions, part of a broader government emergency response, target the Bullent, Girona, and Alfadí rivers, as well as the Gallinera rambla. The works involve removing debris and materials to restore hydraulic functionality and prepare the region for future flooding events.
