The replacement works damaged pipe in es Caló de s’Oli “are progressing” at a good pace, as confirmed on Monday by the Department of Environment, which expects that “the leak will be rectified by the end of this week”.

In this regard, they point out that on October 6th the first analysis of the water in the area was carried out, with results confirming the presence of fecal matter, but “well below the limit set by the law that regulates swimming water”.

The general secretary of the Balearic Water Agency (Abaqua), Juan Calvo, details that samples were taken in the area near the spill, next to the auditorium of es Caló de s’Oli, and in the interior of the bay.
