The Fuerteventura Water Supply Consortium (CAAF) has initiated a tender process for a leak detection and localization service, aiming to improve the efficiency of its extensive island network.

The initiative, valued at approximately 358,000 euros and with an initial duration of two years, seeks to incorporate advanced technologies to optimize water management on the island. This contract, which could be extended for an additional year, excludes indirect taxes (IGIC).
The open tender procedure aims to attract specialized companies that can offer innovative and efficient solutions. Fuerteventura's supply network is complex, exceeding 1,600 kilometers in length and featuring heterogeneous characteristics in terms of materials and diameters, thus requiring highly qualified technical teams.

"This contract responds to a strategic priority for Fuerteventura: to move towards a more efficient, sustainable, and resilient water management model, minimizing losses and guaranteeing a quality supply for all citizens."

In addition to monitoring and auscultation, the service will include constant coordination with CAAF technical staff, communication of incidents and anomalies, and detection of fraud or deficiencies. This will strengthen control and supervision of the network, helping to reduce the volume of non-revenue water.

"This tender is another step in the roadmap we have set to transform water management in Fuerteventura. We are committed to innovation, efficiency, and sustainability as fundamental pillars of our government action, with the ultimate goal of offering a better service to citizens."
