Drinking water results / Resultados del análisis del agua

We had the excellent news, last week, that the water that comes from the springs higher in the mountains to Los Olivos is of excellent quality.
The water that is available to us comes from the local water association, and is nominally provided for land irrigation. As part of the preparations for getting all of our relevant licenses to open, we have had to test the water to see what level of filtration we will need to make it drinkable. It turns out we don't need any filtration, and although by law we must add a small amount of chlorine, we could actually drink the water without this being added.


La semana pasada recibimos muy buenas noticias del laboratorio que ha hecho los análisis del agua que nos llega a Hacienda Los Olivos: el agua es de excelente calidad.
No necesita ningún tipo de tratamiento de filtración. Tan sólo una dósis mínima de cloro para que legalmente sea potable (aunque al parecer podría beberse directamente como agua mineral).
