Archived 12 September 2026Households and businesses need the timetable for their own locality, not a municipality-wide assumption that water will be off all day.
- The maintenance programme runs from 21 to 30 September 2026.
- Pracana Cimeira and Pracana Fundeira are scheduled for an interruption on 21 September from 08:00 to 11:00.
- Frei João and Balancho are scheduled for 22 September from 08:00 to 12:00.
- Other localities use different dates and times, so residents should check the complete Tejo Ambiente notice.
The work is being done reservoir by reservoir
Tejo Ambiente is carrying out planned cleaning and disinfection of water reservoirs serving Mação. The work is staggered, so the interruption for one village does not establish the schedule for another.
The first published slots cover Pracana on Monday morning and Frei João and Balancho on Tuesday morning. Later work continues through 30 September under the operator's locality timetable.
Prepare for a short interruption without storing excessive water
Keep enough drinking and essential-use water for the stated period, particularly where a household has a baby, older person or medical need. Businesses that rely on water should plan cleaning and food-handling work around the local slot.
After service returns, brief cloudiness or trapped air can occur. Follow the operator's instructions and report a persistent quality or pressure problem through the official fault channel rather than assuming it is part of the planned work.
What you can do now.
- 01
