A HIGH-pressure water supply network suffered a ‘major breakdown’ this morning, it has emerged.
It came after a pipe burst in Calle Arquitectos, in Fuengirola, causing multiple streets to become awash with water.
Footage shared online showed how a roundabout and an adjoining road had turned into a stream.
Water supply company Acosol said the incident could affect the supply of drinking water in both Fuengirola and Las Lagunas in Mijas in the coming days.
A technical team was immediately sent to the area and continues to carry out repairs, the company said.
The works are being carried out with the City Council and a local operator and hopes to cause minimal disturbance to residents, a statement said.
Locals have been advised to use water ‘responsibly’ as low pressure and dry taps could be experienced.
Updates will be provided on www.acosol.es.
