The Cúber and Gorg Blau reservoirs, two of the main water resources in Palma, have experienced a significant improvement in their reserve levels, reaching for the first time in almost 18 months a filling average of over 60%. Specifically, a 60.38% as of March 24, 2025.

Currently, the Cúber reservoir has a filling percentage of 58.80%, with a volume of 2,731,327 m³ of stored water. Meanwhile, the Gorg Blau reservoir shows a better situation, with a 61.38% filling, equivalent to 4,518,041 m³ of water.

If we compare the current figures with those from one year ago, a substantial improvement is evident. At the end of March 2024, the Cúber reservoir was at 50.24%, with 2,311,499 m³, while Gorg Blau was at 60.67%, with 4,466,134 m³. The combined reserve average at that time was 56.64%, clearly lower than the current levels.

In historical terms, to find combined reserve figures above 60% in recent months, we have to go back to July 2023, when the figure reached 61.50%.

A “very positive” figure for Cúber and Gorg Blau

In the words of the Deputy Mayor and president of Emaya, Llorenç Bauzá de Keizer, these figures “invite satisfaction regarding the evolution of the water reserves in Palma’s reservoirs”. He also pointed out that surpassing 60% filling is “a very positive figure”, reflecting both the good rainfall and the public’s awareness of the responsible use of water. However, Bauzá de Keizer warned that “we must not be dazzled by the figures” and urged users to continue with their water-saving and resource optimisation habits.
