Residents of the municipality of Manzanillo, in the province of Granma, experienced hours of high stress due to a water leak that reached five meters and caused damage to nearby homes.
The incident was caused by a fault in the main conduit on Tomás Barrero Street between Martí and Mártires de Viet Nam, in the aforementioned municipality.
Shared images show the large proportions of the water leak, which according to the publication "left the neighbors astonished" as they tried in vain to "contain the water's fury."
Because of that reason, many had their "belongings and some household appliances" affected, the publication mentions.
One of the neighbors in the area who shared a video of the leak showed how the abundance of water reached large proportions.
According to official sources on Facebook, government authorities and workers from the Manzanillo Aqueduct and Sewerage were at the site of the leak to work on repairing the pipeline.
A year ago, residents in that Granma locality reported that a hydraulic work had turned into a real pool right in the middle of the street.
According to the publication, it is the same street where the leak is happening today, which reflects the poor work of the officials of the Aqueduct and Sewer system in that area.
The users of the mentioned profile questioned those tasks and made references to the harm they are causing to residents and passersby, such as being a "mosquito breeding ground" or an "unused Olympic-size swimming pool."
On the other hand, residents of the neighboring province of Santiago de Cuba have taken extreme measures to deal with the water supply crisis, such as collecting the precious liquid directly from a leak in the street, compromising its quality and safety, and putting their lives at risk.
