Mario Blancke, the mayor of Alcaucín, is to propose that the Mancomunidad de Municipios of La Axarquía prohibits people in the region from using drinking water to top up their pools in the summer months.

Giving figures from his own municipality as an example, he says there are about 500 private pools and two million litres of water a month is used to fill them, especially in hot weather when the water evaporates rapidly.

He wants regulations to be introduced which oblige all pool owners to prove that the water they use comes from other sources, and he says the Mancomunidad should issue the regulations so they apply to all 31 municipalities covered by the organisation.
