In San Carlos, reserve water for moments of dry taps / the day
Another hot day and the combo that lasts: dry faucets or low pressure and power cuts in some parts of the City.
“Today my indignation is total for the lack of water that we have been enduring for months. My father, 99 years old, and my mother, 87, in a wheelchair. I heated water in the pot and bathed them. I put the dirty bedding and towels in a bag and the other one that I changed is in the washing machine for when the water returns ”, lamented a neighbor about the scene that she registered in a house of 47 between 146 and 147.
Nearby, at 45 between 148 and 149, something similar: “In so many years in the neighborhood, I have never seen such a great deterioration,” said a neighbor who contacted this newspaper and after demanding improvements in the streets, also noted that ” ABSA always has us without water. So literally. And when there is no flow. We are in 2023 and this is inexplicable,” said the neighbor.
The problems with the supply of water reach the vicinity of the largest drinking water treatment plant in the Region, located in Ensenada. “Nobody listens to us. I am from the Punta Lara area and we always have problems with the water, but now we have had dry taps for five days. They don’t even send us any pressure at night, ”said the neighbor and insisted on her claim for lack of responses to the water request:“ Nobody listens to us, ”she concluded.
The problems due to low pressure also generated discomfort yesterday in the Meridiano V neighborhood. “In 17 between 63 and 64 we are still without water,” warned one of the residents of the area who complained again yesterday after spending Friday night with almost no water in the quills.
The other side of the phenomenon are the claims for losses in the pipes, which also appeared in recent days. “There is a loss of water of 19 between 39 and 40. Infinite claims were made to ABSA. Several neighbors have already fallen because the sidewalk has more and more water. There lives an 82-year-old woman who cannot leave her house, ”warned a front person.
In this context, the service provider reported that “more than 82.5 million pesos will be invested in six perforations that will benefit users of Los Hornos. These, which have already been awarded and are ready to start, are part of a total of 21 new perforations for the district of La Plata, with an investment of $289,292,639, and once finished, they will improve the service in six areas of the town”.
The works will be carried out by the company Aguas Corletti SRL, and are projected to reinforce the service in 155 and 78, 153 and 64, 60 and 164, 161 and 74, 167 and 60, and 137 and 74.
power outages
During yesterday afternoon, residents of the Plaza Moreno area reported power outages at 14 and 55, and 56 between 4 and 5 pm. “They are interruptions of several minutes,” said a front member. As on Friday afternoon, it was also claimed yesterday in shops on Cantilo Street, City Bell. “It seems that it is a phase because there are stores that have them and others that do not,” said a merchant. From Edelap it was reported at the end of the afternoon that the service was provided normally at those points.
