Beyond the view
Mallorca lives with dry summers, seasonal peaks and very different local supply networks. Water is therefore part of daily life at home, not an abstract environmental issue. When choosing a property, ask about its supply as carefully as you inspect the terrace. A large pool and lush planting can materially affect running costs and maintenance.
What has been approved
The Balearic government has allocated about €39.8 million from the tourism tax for 14 water projects in 2026–2027. They cover supply, wastewater treatment, reuse and network efficiency. This is an investment plan for the Balearic Islands, not a promise that a particular street will see immediate improvements. The exact location and project stage still matter.
Questions for the property
Ask where water comes from, review recent bills and meter readings, and establish who maintains pipes on the plot. For a garden, look at irrigation, planting and storage. Have qualified professionals check whether existing installations are permitted and sound. Using less water need not mean a poorer lifestyle: shade, suitable plants and maintained equipment can make a home more comfortable.
