Water pressure in Cantaro

Patricia Sorzan told. Newsday yesterday that. several complaints were. made to the authority. and to date they still remain. without water supply.

“The leak hole in the. road is right in front of. my house and it is huge,”. Sorzan said. “Most of the. residents kept calling on. WASA and some went. into the office. After. persistent calls from the. residents, WASA came. within the first week and. did some repairs. But. three days after where. the hole was, the water. started shooting out of. the hole again.”. She added, “We tried. calling the office to inform. them about the. situation but all calls to. their phone lines went. unanswered.”. Sorzan explained that. the water leak is affecting. their daily water supply.

“When water comes in. the pipe, due to the leak,. the pressure is really low. and not strong enough. to reach my tanks. Residents. who live further up. on the hill do not get any. water at all,” she said.

Sorzan explained that. last week she spoke with. a WASA employee to. enquire about the leak. and was told that they. are aware of the problem. and they (WASA) did. not have the equipment. to deal with the problem. at the moment.

When Newsday contacted. WASA’s Senior. Manager of Corporate. Communications, Daniel. Plenty, said he acknowledged. the report. and promised to look. into the matter to render. some relief to the residents. as soon as possible.
