Overflow of sewage in San Miguel del Padrón: A year of suffering for residents

The overflow of sewage in a neighborhood of the San Miguel del Padrón municipality in Havana has caused suffering for residents for over a year.

In a report sent to CiberCuba, a source who preferred to remain anonymous explained that since March 27 or 28, 2023, a sewage register collapsed on Mongo Sosa Street, at the corner of 257, in the Tejas neighborhood of San Miguel del Padrón.

More than a year later, the residents continue to suffer the consequences of this unresolved issue, facing daily discharges of sewage with an unbearable stench and an increase in mosquitoes.

Despite the constant complaints and reports, the situation has not improved. What is most concerning is that this issue is recorded in official documents as resolved, which is a blatant lie.

The authorities have not taken effective action to resolve this serious health issue in the community, where numerous children are exposed daily to this source of infection.

The risk of diseases like dengue and other serious conditions continues to rise little by little. The inaction of the authorities puts the health of all residents at risk, who fear for the lives of their children and demand an immediate solution.

The neighbors are desperate, wondering how much longer they must wait for the government to take action. The community can no longer live under these inhumane conditions. It is imperative that the authorities respond urgently to prevent greater tragedies.
