HAVANA, August 14 (Fara Armenteros, UPECI / www.cubanet.org) - Approximately
14,000 residents of El Cristo municipality, in Santiago de Cuba province, have
been without water for the last 18 days, since the water pump broke down.
Residents of Boniato, San Vicente, Prosperidad, and Dos Bocas are also affected
by the breakdown.
Residents say the water they get now comes from entrepreneurs who fill 55
gallon drums at the well, transport them in a wheelbarrow and sell them for 12
pesos.
Local residents say they are becoming concerned, since local government
officials do not seem able to address the problem.
