In the vicinity of Vía Blanca and Recreo, a recurring issue raises questions about the management of Empresa Aguas de La Habana: several leaks have affected the residents for months.
A local resident told CiberCuba that the problem has remained unresolved for over six months, despite multiple interventions: “They patch it up and patch it up, but they do it poorly or don’t finish the job,” said the complainant, highlighting the community's dissatisfaction with the ineffectiveness of the repairs.
However, amid a severe crisis of potable water supply affecting the capital of Cuba, complaints of this nature are frequent.
In October, journalist Maya Quiroga reported on Facebook a large water leak at the intersection of Línea and 10 streets in Vedado, Havana.
"The water continues to flow from the springs on Línea and 10," noted the communicator, adding to the complaints of other residents in the mentioned Havana neighborhood.
This complaint joins the videos circulating on social media that highlight the negligence and inaction of the state-owned company Aguas de La Habana, in which the regime is questioned for failing to address issues related to water supply and the health problems that arise from them.
Yulier Rodríguez reported in a video posted on Facebook that a malfunction in the plumbing network has left a large hole in a street in Havana, and that the responsible company has not fixed the leak or covered the hole.
