Leader from Santiago de Cuba arrives with water pipe to community and residents demand solutions.

Beatriz Johnson Urrutia, the first secretary of the PCC in Santiago de Cuba, arrived this Saturday with a water barrel to a local community as a pretext to engage in dialogue with residents who had been without supply for days, but she was met with more complaints than "thanks."

Journalist Yosmany Mayeta echoed the complaint received on his Facebook page and reported that the incident took place in the Ecuadorian Buildings, located in the Abel Santamaría neighborhood, popularly known as "El Sala'o."

"The communist leader arrived with a water pipe, in light of the deficit faced by the community, but she used this opportunity to talk to the people about improvements in the future, although the residents expressed their truths to her," the communicator noted.

Moreover, he pointed out that a water truck will not solve the problems that this community has faced for a long time.

However, the communicator also published another video showing that the water supply crisis is affecting several communities.

“This video was recorded in a small queue, where the neighbors of the Nuevo Van Van neighborhood in Altamira, with jugs and buckets in hand, try to gather a breath of water that comes from a neighbor's house,” noted the journalist, emphasizing that this community has been without service for over a month.

He also mentioned that most of the housing in that area is located in buildings of up to five stories and emphasized that the residents are unable to receive an adequate supply due to the low pressure at which the water arrives.

However, the regime's leaders continue to spread on social media the "solutions" they offer to residents, even though these are far from resolving the serious water supply crisis in Santiago de Cuba.

Yaneydis Hechavarría, president of the Municipal Assembly of People's Power in Santiago de Cuba, announced on Facebook the dispatch of tanker trucks as an achievement of the government, highlighting an improvised and limited measure that reflects the lack of effective solutions to the water supply crisis faced by communities.

"This Sunday, attention will continue to be given to communities affected by the water supply," stated the leader.

Recently, the Quintero System, responsible for supplying over 80% of the city of Santiago de Cuba, faced a severe deficit in water supply.

The Aguas Santiago Water and Sewage Company announced on Facebook this Sunday that the issue is due to two significant leaks located in one of the main external conduits measuring 1,000 mm, which transports water from the reservoirs to the Water Treatment Plant.

A few days ago, the government acknowledged that the water supply crisis continues to severely impact the population of Santiago de Cuba, despite the investments claimed by local authorities to improve the service.

The main leaders of the region appeared on the television program "Santiago Hoy," broadcast by Tele Turquino, where they proudly stated that the province ranks second nationally in investments in the sector, according to the official newspaper Sierra Maestra.

However, the residents of Santiago face long distribution cycles, system failures, and a lack of adequate infrastructure that has exacerbated the situation in recent months.
