Residents of Archidona (Málaga) can't drink the tap water

Until further notice the 8,500 inhabitants of the town of Archidona will have to get their drinking water from tanker trucks, or buy mineral water. The drought has reduced the level of the aquifer supplying the town so much that water quality has deteriorated, and the Health Departmenet of the Junta de Andalucía has declared it unfit for consumption.

Today a tanker truck visited the outlying villages. In Estación de Archidona, where over a hundred people live, they have stocked up on water because it won't come again until next Tuesday.

And the only bar in the village is no longer serving coffee.

However, water is still coming out of the taps and can be used for everything except drinking, cooking, or washing food.
