Tap water # 2

Tap water system in Dominican Republic is not healthy because the water from the faucet sometimes comes to a fetid smell and the pipes are contaminated  most of their time because poor people who live in the banks of river defecate in the water, and this situation provokes a lot of sicknesses because illiterate people don't have conscience about the situation; in addition, they don't like to pay public services as water service from CAASD, electrical service from CDEEE, and garbage service from the City Hall.

Also we have to say that the official authorities have never been interested about water service fixing because they don't care about these kind of reparations because they just care the luxurious constructions in the urban areas of Santo Domingo as subways, tunnels, and elevated bridges because they want to appear as New York;nevertheless, many areas of my country are in difficult situations.

Tap Water

Tap water in Dominican Republic remains in an awful quality because the government has forgotten the water care in many areas of the country, first of all in the poor regions that there are not  pipes services, and they can not use the water because is poisoned and many people get sick by cholera, hepatitis,diarrhea any other illnesses granted that there is no help in water supply because the governors of each village are busy in politics, looking for votes for their profit and they don't care the principal services of their communities.

The water service in our country should be improved to the dominican people health, because it could be dangerous maintain the same situation in the next years, and if we don't solve the water problems it will be difficult for us and for the next generation granted that water is an essential element in our lives.
