PINAR DEL RIO, April 9 (José Hidalgo Gato, Lux InfoPress) - Approximately 20,000 residents that are served by the water plant located in Kilometer 5 of the Luis Lazo Road are using contaminated water due to the failure of the chlorination tank in that facility.
The water processed by the plant come from the Guamá reservoir and need a high degree of chlorination. That, in turn, has led to the corrosion and deterioration of the tanks, putting excess iron in the water.
Residents have complained to the water authorities to no avail.
