HAVANA, December 19 (Juan Carlos Linares, Cuba- Verdad / www.cubanet.org) -
Irregularities in Havana's water supply have become more pronounced in the last
seven days, leading residents to envision a worse crisis while the official
press has no information on the matter.
A reliable source said the worsening situation is due to a break in the main
carrying water into the city from the Vento basin, south of Havana.
"We don't know when service will be re-established," said the
source.
Residents of central and old Havana can be seen filling water buckets from
tank trucks or from water hydrants in street corners.
"All the leaks in the network of pipes, caused by age and lack of
maintenance, conspire against adequate service to the city of Havana," said
a water authority employee.
