The CAASD foresees water crisis for more than 40 barrios of Santo Domingo

SD. The Water and Sewer Corporation of Santo Domingo (CAASD) is forecasting that due to the reduction of the levels of the waters in the supply systems of Haina-Manoguayabo, Duey and Isa-Mana, at least 40 sectors will be receiving a reduced water supply.

The CAASD director, Alejandro Montas, said that "the production of the Valdesia aqueduct has fallen by 10 million gallons a day, but the production is stable at 135 million gallons a day which will allow them to reinforce the affected systems and send water to those sectors," he said. In the meantime the Duey has shown a slight improvement.

Among the sectors with difficulty to receive fresh water, the CAASD director cited Pantoja, Villa Morada, 24 de Abril, Barrio Paraíso, Invi, Obras Públicas, Los Girasoles l y ll, Pueblo Nuevo, Cerros de Arroyo Hondo lll, Ciudad Real ll, Arroyo Hondo ll, Savica, Las Mercedes, La Unión, La Esperanza, Barrio Landia, La Guáyiga, Pedro Brand, Los Americanos l and ll and Barrio Chavón. In addition these will also be affected: El 30 de Mayo, Solimar, Miramar, Costa Azul, Costa Verde, El Pedregal, Mar Caribe, Engombe, Loyola, El Ureña and Brisa del Norte, among others.
