The problem of lack of water or low pressure is no longer an issue that occurs in the summer but, unfortunately for the residents, throughout the year. But with the arrival of heat the inconvenience tends to get worse, often making people open the taps and not a single drop comes out.
In many cases before, at least during the night, they could load the tank and thus manage the resource throughout the day. But now that doesn’t happen anymore and even at dawn they don’t even have enough to wash their faces.
This is what has been happening “for months” in the area of 60 and 137, Los Hornos. “There is little pressure on the supply and on some days and times the situation worsens substantially,” said a neighbor who contacted eldia.com.
“You can imagine that with this pressure it does not reach the tank for hours and hours. Sometimes for a whole day,” he added in his WhatsApp message.
A few blocks from there the situation is not very different. “I don’t know whether to say good morning”, he excuses himself in the first of the messages sent to the newspaper. “So we are at 140 and 65, without a drop of water. We have been claiming a loss for two months without any response from ABSA. There are older people, children, how do we do it? Stop charging us for a service that they do not provide us “, was the claim towards ABSA, although there was also criticism against the officials because “nobody does anything”.
In 147 and 60 the condition is the same product of a leak on the corner, which means “that the neighbors do not have water and we see how everything is lost on the sidewalk.” “More than 20 days ago I made a claim to ABSA and nothing,” they added.
But the problem with water is not exclusive to that area of the City, but the same thing happens in other neighborhoods, such as 22 and 64, where a building in which some 30 families live “does not have water and ABSA does nothing We found out that there is a huge loss of water in the neighborhood on Calle 21 between 64 and 65”, as in 29 bis and 511, Hernández, where “we have not had water for days. We call and they tell us that everything is in conditions or they send us a truck with water that is impossible to use because of how dirty it is”.
