Residents of Luyanó, in the Havana municipality of Diez de Octubre, express their dissatisfaction and concern over the water shortage they have been experiencing for weeks.
Those affected, especially women, are demanding a solution to this issue, which is compounded by prolonged and persistent blackouts and other social difficulties impacting the daily lives of Cubans.
"It’s an abuse what they are doing to us. More than a week without water; when it finally comes, it barely comes out as a trickle and then it’s gone again. How long will this last?" a user reported in the Facebook group "Only People from Luyanó and Surroundings."
In the same group, another neighbor stated that her daughter would not attend school until the water service was restored, and she warned about the formation of a new weather event near Cuba for next week.
Desperation is evident in multiple posts: “8 days without water in Luyanó, please,” “Luyanó without water, we need water,” “How much longer without water? If anyone has found a spring, please let us know.”
However, the complaints from residents contrast with the information shared by the Municipal Assembly of the People's Power of Diez de Octubre on social media, which asserts that water is being supplied in the Popular Council of Luyanó through alternative methods. "The delegates and representatives of the organizations collaborate in the distribution of this precious liquid," they stated.
They also explained that the issues with water supply to households are due to "problems with pumping pressure and distribution cycles."
This Tuesday, residents of the Boyeros municipality blocked traffic on Rancho Boyeros Avenue and the 100 Bridge due to a lack of electricity and water.
Residents of the area placed tree branches in the middle of the road to draw the government's attention to the critical situation they are facing, according to a video released by the independent media outlet Cubanet.
