I recently read that due to the recent pass of Matthew the storm caused some damage in Southern DR but on the whole the country escaped without much disruption due to Matthew. The good news from the storm is that after a long period of drought a few months ago the countries reservoirs on the whole are full to capacity. I can understand water rationing during periods of drought and during that dry period the water in our area was off Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. More recently the off days were reduced to Mondays and Fridays.
Now for some reason the full water rationing is back to the all three dry days again. The reservoirs are full. Conservation during dry periods is essential but during times of surplus water supplies WHY IS CORAASAN STILL RATIONING?
On a related note, does anyone know the difference between a 3rd world potable water system and a first world potable water system? The answer is: The difference is the first world water supply pressure is on 24/7 and the 3rd world shuts off the water supply periodically. When the water supply pressure is dropped to 0 psi any external polluted water can easily be sucked or drain into the water system. Example, The house on the hill has an open faucet with a hose laying in a dirty sink, puddle or bucket and the house down the street at a lower level opens a faucet. This can actually siphon water out of the dirty water through the hose and into the main water supply pipes. This can happen from industrial sites as well bring chemicals and other poisons into the supply lines. Then when the municipal water supply is restored those same pollutants can be delivered to your home or tinaco.
So the consequences of the third world on/off water delivery system are: The water CORAASAN delivers can be pure as any first world water system but the pollutants that can be introduced during the water system off periods, when that pure clean water enters the polluted delivery system the clean pure water is re-polluted during each and every on/off cycle. So that is why we can't drink the water here but in the USA and Europe the municipal water supplies are safe to drink.
