Recent scarce rainfall has not allowed for the replenishment of water reserves, which continue to decrease and have reached an exceptionally low level in the communes of Clairavaux, Croze, and Felletin.

Faced with this alarming situation, the safety margin between water production and consumption is no longer sufficient. The SIAEP of the Haute Vallée de la Creuse has therefore decided to activate the interconnection with the SIAEP of Rozeille. This measure aims to ensure the continuity of the drinking water supply for the inhabitants of the three affected communes.
The situation in other communes in the area is considered slightly less tense, although it remains under constant surveillance by the relevant authorities.
The union therefore calls on every citizen to maintain and, if possible, strengthen their efforts to limit water consumption to what is strictly necessary. Every liter of water saved is essential in this context.
The SIAEP thanks everyone in advance for their vigilance and mobilization in the face of this water crisis.
