Disconnection and Reconnection of Water ??

Is Coraapplata taking some action to disconnect those that have not paid or do not have contracts?
Does anyone know what reasons they are using ?

i was in the coraaplata office so i asked. apparently they are disconnecting those who did not pay for 3 months. probably more of a wishful thinking here. re-connection fee is 800 pesos.

Might be useful if they would fix the leaks.There's a main at the top of Pedro C that's been running for days.They have been notified it seems but still flowing nicely down the drain this morning.....

You mean like those who are expected to pay when they haven't had water through the pipes in ages??

CORAAPLATA got their legal department to drag my buddy before a fiscal in POP for debts unpaid, even though he had never gotten a drop of water in 2 years. a guy we know told us that there was no water on his street, and never has been. he thought it would be his knockout punch when he went to court. the guy from the water company admitted that he was right, but the fiscal still made him pay.

only in the DR.

DV* - Do people have to pay the arrears before they can be reconnected?

And it is not just wishful thinking on the part of Coraapplata - I have actually witnessed someone being disconnected and later found that about 5 houses had been done that day.

Not sure what notice you get either.

Perhaps you could help us all DV*

i can call and ask. i have also been told that CORAAPLATA has an "offer" now: if you pay your debt all at once they will give you a discount.

We would love to pay for water, but have not received any for 3 or more years. they can cut it off as far as I am concerned. They came here a couple of years ago with shovels and pick axes and said pay or we cut you off. I told them to cut me off... they
walked away lol

The distribution system is bad, sure, but you would think that the pipes would have had flowing water once in the last three years. If the surrounding neighbours get water sporadically, then chances are that a valve is shut off somewhere to this property, no?
