Overview
- The council ordered UTE Gestión Cangas to produce a report on whether hydrocarbons contaminated the municipal supply.
- An elderly couple from Darbo were tested for hydrocarbons in hospital, with the husband discharged and the wife still admitted in Vigo.
- The Ourelo reservoir was closed on January 12 after oil- and detergent-like residues were detected, and users were rerouted to treated water from Vigo via the Xielas network.
- The operator reports the network water has tested safe after a full purge and tank cleaning, while investigators later identified an illegal discharge upstream near Anguieiro in an industrial area.
- Residents led by Asociación Veciñal Nós submitted photos of dirty filters, call for bottled or tanker deliveries and tap-level hydrocarbon testing, and officials say repeated sampling continues.
