It is great El Seibo is getting aqueducts and pipelines.

There is a great great concern in the area, especially in the east tourist zone of the aquifer levels lowering due to unprecedented resort and residential development. Gov't loves development. Yet, it and the developers have shown little or no respect of the sustainability of water demands. There have been promises of an aqueduct from Higuey. Government overflows with promises, not water.
