On Wednesday the Junta de Andalucía health minister declared that the water from Archidona wells is once again safe for drinking.

On 29 August it was announced that, due to drought in the region, the levels of organic substances or metals in the water exceeded the amount considered safe for human consumption.

One month later, the council has received information that the levels of substances in the water are now low enough to allow the water to be drunk and used in cooking.

Over the 31 days when the water from the wells was deemed unsuitable for drinking, the town hall's alternative drinking water supply operation was implemented.

Water tankers toured the streets of Archidona to allow residents to fill up bottles.
