HAVANA, April 4 (María de los Angeles González Amaro, UPECI) -
The interruption of the municipal water service, now lasting more than 30 days,
provoked a public protest yesterday by residents of Gustavo Street, in the
Arroyo Naranjo municipality of Havana.
Officials of the local Water and Sewers Authority say the lack of water is
due to the
breakdown of four of the 16 pump motors that should be on line. Others blame
the workers whose job it is to open the outlet valves.
About 10 of the more than 4,000 residents affected by the lack of water
warned the local representative of the Communist Party that next Thursday they
would raise their complaints to the upper levels of the Party.
Some residents have installed motors of their own to take water directly
from the mains. This measure has irritated other residents, who regularly insult
the owners of these motors. Police and State inspectors are under orders not to
interfere in these disputes.
