Due to a lack of rainfall and high temperatures, the prefect of Haute-Garonne has extended and reinforced water usage restriction measures.

The municipality of Fronton is now classified at a CRISIS level for direct abstraction from watercourses and their associated groundwater (wells, boreholes, or pumps located within 100 meters of a watercourse). This decision follows the absence of precipitation and recorded high temperatures.
Uses supplied by the drinking water network are placed under an ENHANCED ALERT regime, prohibiting abstraction between 8 AM and 8 PM. These restrictions are in effect until October 31, 2026.

These measures were officially enacted by a prefectural order dated June 26, 2026, and subsequently extended and reinforced by an update on October 5, 2026.
