Playa Reducto Closed to Bathers Again After Suspected Sewage Leak

A red flag was raised to forbid bathing at Playa Reducto in Arrecife yesterday after sewage was reported in the water.

A leak appears to have occurred near Punta del Camello, the promontory to the west of the beach. Lifesavers immediately closed the beach upon detecting the contamination.

Arrecife’s Ayuntamiento has asked the Water consortium to investigate the incident, which may be related to an incident last week when a burst pipe sent sewage several metres into the air in Argana Alta, damaging houses.

Playa Reducto was closed form October 2025 to April 1^st this year after similar leaks.
