Water shortage legal dispute in Xalo

Overview

Residents of the O Castelo urbanisation on Monte Xalo have initiated legal action against the municipalities of Carral and Cerceda. The lawsuit alleges a failure to provide reliable water services during a prolonged drought.

The community reports that the water supply has been reduced to intermittent tanker deliveries, necessitating daily rationing across different parts of the estate. The neighbourhood association, led by president Eduardo Palmero, suggests that the shortage could be mitigated by installing pumping infrastructure to tap nearby reservoirs such as Meirama and As Encrobas. While residents are demanding a permanent solution and the regularisation of the urban plan, the municipalities maintain they lack competence over the private urbanisation and have only offered temporary tanker services.
