The Fuerteventura Water Supply Consortium has invested 2.7 million euros in a new pumping station at Morro Francisco, near Corralejo, to guarantee supply and prevent water cuts in the island's northern localities.

This significant investment aims to ensure that towns such as Lajares, Majanicho, El Roque, and El Cotillo, within the municipality of La Oliva, have a constant and high-quality water supply. The new infrastructure, located in Morro Francisco, is crucial for the decentralization of the system.
The Morro Francisco pumping station will reduce dependence on the Puerto del Rosario station for these areas. Consequently, the Corralejo desalination plant, which produces 5,000 cubic meters daily and an annual volume of 1,825,000 cubic meters of desalinated water, plays a fundamental role in the supply network.
The combination of the Puerto del Rosario networks and the new Morro Francisco station will help increase the water flow designated for human consumption in the various population centers of the municipality of La Oliva.

"These improvements in the network, in the volume of desalinated water, and in the pumping station make our water supply more efficient and of better quality, always with the aim of improving services to citizens."
