At the end of October 2026, Finistère faces a scarcity of its drinking water resource despite calls to save water, while Côtes-d'Armor fears cuts after a pressure reduction. October rains, slightly above average after four deficit months, are not enough to replenish reserves, and restrictions constrain grave maintenance in Morlaix and then Rennes at All Saints' Day. At the end of October, despite Storm Austen, Brittany remains at critical levels and a new water treatment plant is announced in Pencran. In early November, the drop in watercourses causes four shells to reappear at the Saint-Barthélémy dam in Ploufragan. The question of the risk of drinking water shortages is then raised at national level, with Brest also concerned.
