Fifty students in Cuba sick from contaminated
water
SANTA CLARA, Cuba, October 7 (Belkis Rodríguez
Bravo, Cubanacán Press / www.cubanet.org)
- Fifty students became ill and the school
was closed after authorities discovered
the school's water supply was contaminated
September 28.
The secondary school in the countryside,
in Boquerones, in the municipality of Santa
Clara, gets its water from a small reservoir
less than a mile from the school grounds.
The students at the school are all live-in.
After the students became ill, public health
authorities performed tests and decided
to close the school. Local residents take
their cattle to the reservoir from which
the school draws water for their water.
This is not the first time the school has
had problems with the quality of its water.
