Water prices up five days after hurricane
HAVANA, August 18 (Richard Roselló
/ www.cubanet.org) - As Havana residents
start running out of the water supplies
they laid aside in preparation for hurricane
Charley, a 55-gallon drum full of water
is going for 60 pesos, up from 20 before.
Municipal water service has been out for
five days and authorities expect it will
remain out until electric service is reactivated
to run the pumps, possibly another week.
