For the first 10 years of living in Cabarete, we had about 40 lbs of water pressure. Then it started to fall off and I had to use our cistern (about 5,000 gallons) , pressure tank and pump on occasion and now they are needed all of the time because the pressure is barely at 10 lbs. So the government gives a sum of money to the corrupt water company to "fix the problem" in Cabarete, Sosua and Montellano. What are the chances anything will change?

CORAAPPLATA tries to solve water supply problems
According to engineer Julio Pérez and Engineer Onesimo Reyes of the tap water company CORAAPPLATA, they are currently working hard to improve the water supply for Montellano, Sosúa and Cabarete. The company recently received a large amount of money from the government for the purchase of new pumping installations. With this, the water supply for Montellano can be restored. The problems in Las Caobas, in Bella Vista and Los Cerros in Sosúa are now being tackled. Nothing is said about remedying the water problems in the Playa Chiquita neighborhood.
There, the hotels (including the Voramar hotel) are forced to have a water truck come by every day (1500 pesos at a time).
