In the absence of significant rainfall, the hydrological situation continues to deteriorate across the entire Haute-Garonne department. The department has been experiencing exceptional drought since spring, with five consecutive months of marked rainfall deficit, exceeding 50% since early June, as well as the hottest summer ever recorded.
In this context, the Prefect of Haute-Garonne has decided to reinforce water usage restrictions starting Saturday, October 3, 2026. These measures concern water usage from the public drinking water network, as well as direct withdrawals from watercourses and groundwater.
For the town of Lespinasse, restrictions vary depending on the water source. Water from the public drinking water network places the municipality in "reinforced alert." Regarding water from watercourses and groundwater, part of the territory is subject to a "vigilance" level, while another part is in "reinforced alert."
