The municipal record of Poça do Monte, raised in 14 April 2008, describes a transformation into Alvite: the canal in natural land was channeled by the consorts in 2001. It was about a kilometer and used water from the source of Ribeiro Furado.
The record identifies seven consorts and refers to a steep slope in the initial part. This story helps distinguish the old open channel from pipe conduction. The document does not allow to conclude how the network is today nor presents a path to walk.
