Contaminated water flows freely at Havana
train station
HAVANA, Cuba - August 14 (Ahmed Rodríguez
Albacia, Jóvenes sin Censura / www.cubanet.org)
- The flow of contaminated waters in front
of the Havana train station has been a known
problem for more than a year and the sewer
authority has not moved a finger to make
the necessary repairs in spite of their
repeated complaints, say station workers.
The water flows from a backed-up septic
tank, wokers say, and represents a real
danger of spreading disease to employees
and the more than 2,000 travelers who use
the station daily.
In particular, workers say, the water serves
as breeding grounds for mosquitoes, which
are very thick around the station and which
carry dengue fever, among other maladies.
Lately, there has been a spike in the number
of cases of dengue fever reported in the
capital.
