Broken pipes concern local residents
HAVANA, Cuba - March 3 (Richard Roselló
/ www.cubanet.org) - Broken pipes have been
leaking thousands of gallons of drinking
water onto the streets for more than 20
days in the El Cerro municipality of Havana,
say residents.
"We have told Aguas Habana [the municipal
water authority] about the problem five
times," said one resident, "but
we are still waiting."
The leaks, on Alejandro Ramírez
and Omoa Este Streets, by the side of La
Dependiente hospital, have carved a ditch
about 300 feet long before flowing into
a sewer.
Concerned residents who complain that often
they have no water service for hours or
even days are chafing about the flowing
water and the water authority's apparent
inattention.
