Cuban retiree denounces serious water supply issue in Havana.

Facebook user Mirtha Fernández, a resident of El Vedado, Plaza de la Revolución municipality, Havana, reported on social media the water supply crisis affecting her building and many families in the area.

These neighbors have been facing serious difficulties in accessing potable water service for several months. They are mostly elderly people, many of whom are retired and bedridden, who are not receiving potable water service in their homes, which causes serious challenges in their daily lives.

Fernández denounces that, despite the promises from local authorities and the state company Aguas de La Habana, the situation is not improving.

In her message, she mentions that she lives in building 510, located on 15th street, between D and E, and that both she and the other neighbors have had to resort to using buckets to carry water from D street or 13th street and then climb the stairs with the buckets on their backs.

The situation is particularly difficult for Fernández, who is an elderly person and cares for a bedridden 86-year-old woman.

The authorities promised that residents would receive water through tank trucks every four days, but so far this solution has not been effectively implemented.

The building has 35 apartments, which means the amount of water they can store is limited, leaving many families without the necessary resource to carry out basic tasks such as cooking, washing clothes, or personal hygiene.

The regime assures that the Plaza de la Revolución municipality does not face serious water supply problems. However, Fernández asks, "Which municipality are we located in?".

Since July, the water supply issues in El Vedado and other areas of Havana have worsened considerably. The main cause, according to authorities, was a malfunction in the electrical lines that feed the Cuenca Sur, one of the main sources of supply for the capital.

Despite Aguas de La Habana declaring that its crews are working to resolve the crisis, the situation remains critical for the residents of the area.

Many families, especially those living in high-rise buildings, have had to rely on water trucks whose service can cost between 8,000 and 10,000 Cuban pesos, an unaffordable price for most.

Fernández's complaint joins those of other Cubans, who have expressed their despair on social media over the lack of water and the absence of clear answers from the authorities.
