Contaminated water causes dysentery in Matanzas province

HAVANA, October 18 (Fara Armenteros, UPECI / www.cubanet.org) - Contaminated water is presumed to be behind an outbreak of dysentery in Bolondrón, Matanzas province, according to Health Department sources, who said recent analysis found cattle excrement in the water.

In addition, Juan Felipe Requeijos, a local resident said, several water mains are broken, and where the breaks are, water pools along with soil and excrement. "When the pump starts up, it draws water along with everything else from these pools and delivers it through the pipes," said Requeijos.
