another complaint: the sewer generates a lagoon at 116 and diagonal 684 / the day
Dozens of residents of the Region endured a day yesterday that had them overwhelmed by the heat and the lack of water. In many neighborhoods it was reiterated that it is not the problem of a day, but a shortage that takes several days. For example, from 35, between 137 and 138, it was denounced that they have been with “dry taps” for ten days.
With a similar claim, the users of 22 and 80, Altos de San Lorenzo, assured that yesterday they had their third consecutive day without a drop of water, with empty tanks, without Absa offering them an answer. “Meanwhile we continue to survive in so much heat. We have to buy water or go out to ask relatives because we don’t even have enough to cook,” said a neighbor.
In 44 and 137 the “drought” was also described as “terrible”. According to a neighbor from that enclave, “it’s been three days in a row without this much-needed element in this very hot season. We cannot clean, wash, sanitize ourselves. You can not wash clothes or dishes. It’s total nonsense.”
On the other hand, at 154 and 64, Los Hornos, they said that in that area “not a drop of water has come out since December 28.”
After several claims made to the company, an ABSA supervisor visited them, but the water did not return to normal. “If you don’t pay, they call you and intimidate you.” “And who do we intimate?” asked the neighbors.
For her part, Brenda María Suárez, aged 154 between 59 and 60, stated that she has been without water for 15 days. “I made a million claims and on top of that they say that there are no problems in the area. I have toured the neighborhood and in a two-block radius there are many families with the same problem. I have a partner and two children and we have to live in this unfortunate situation,” said the woman.
A neighbor of 523, between 6 and 7, in Tolosa, maintained that she has been without water since Saturday and when making claim 3411196/1, she was informed that repair work was being carried out. “With this heat wave, are they doing maintenance?” the woman wondered.
loss
In return, the residents of 19, between 39 and 40, demanded the repair of water losses. They made the claims to Absa on November 22, by telephone but also, in person, at the offices at 7 and 58.
It was reported that the path has been full of water for months and that this caused several accidents.
It was also evaluated that the water, because it is stagnant, represents a danger due to the spread of dengue.
Finally, the residents mentioned the numbers of claims with the dates on which they were made: 11/25/22: No. 3388656, 12/12/22 No. 3397789, 12/30/22 No. R 3397789-07.
Answer from Absa
From Absa it was reported that maintenance tasks continued yesterday at the Donato Gerardi Water Treatment Plant in Punta Lara, which supplies drinking water to a sector of La Plata and to Berisso and Ensenada.
“As a result of the work and the high consumption that is recorded due to the consecutive days of high temperatures, maneuvers must be carried out at the outlet to the networks and in the respective pumping stations in La Plata, Berisso and Ensenada, which can generate low pressure and / or lack of water in some sectors”, it was communicated.
In this line, it was requested to restrict the non-priority use of water. Avoid the use of mains water for recreational consumption and the filling of pools; postponing car washes, as well as watering sidewalks and green spaces during the day, among others.
In another order, an investment of 96 million pesos was announced in seven perforations that will benefit users of the Barrio Aeropuerto.
They are projected to reinforce the service in the zones of 610 and 30; 22 and 615; 604 and 116; 633 and 10; 637 and 7; 637 and 12; and 637 and 17. The works have already been awarded.
