So a system designed to feed 10 000 residents now has to feed maybe 50-70 000. As a result, many colleagues who live there tell me that empty cold taps are a common occurance.
Funny things is, being Valencia, and their idiocy over building and planning, most have no planning permission. So when these estates started springing up, the locals played up and went mental when they tried to connect up to the existing local water and elctricity (both which are over-stretched).
Conseqently the streams of ex-pats that have bought and moved into these ticky tacky little boxes on the hillside without doing their homework, have to rely on water bowsers and generators
