Doesn't help those not getting water, except lessen the likelihood of being charged anyway
This is the first I have heard of AAA Dominicana and their part in the north coast corruption in CORAAPPLATA. Does that mean the office in El Patio Cabarete was run by AAA Dominicana and will now be CORAAPPLATA employees directly? Chico BIll, I don't see how it could get much worse by removing a useless and corrupt middle man company.Sosúa-News

And here I thought the multiple wells they were drilling in Sosua and Cabarete would help. I guess not. One truly incompetent government group they have become over the years. From 40 plus pounds of pressure in 2003 to a maximum of 10 pounds several times a week where I am. The cistern and pump get a real work out.Author

The problem we have in this area is that the taking work doesn't have enough water to supply Cabarete and Sosua. We only have to wait for the water level of the construction work to return, this with rain. Non-service days will be accounted for and discounted for it.
This is a translation of a reply from Coraapplata on the 13th September. So it looks like being a long time before we get water from them in Perla Marina.

Well based on their sloppy to nonexistent repairs and inability to deliver water I think you may want to reconsider that Windy. Just when you though things couldn't get worse................
Well, I'm happy that I live in Los Castillos and at least for the past 5 years, we've not had issues with the water. And before that, I lived in Sosúa Abajo, and there was never an issue. My mother-in-law lives in Sosúa Abajo and she has water 24hrs 7days a week. At least the majority of the "locals" in these places are aware of the issue and have their cisterns that they fill up whenever the water is getting to them, and in general, the water comes at least once or twice a week. And yes there are parts of these areas where the water doesn't come to regularly, for example, the upper parts of Los Castillos. That's mostly because the water pressure is too low, and those of us who live closer to the main street get all the water first, and then those who live further up, get the "left-overs". But I also believe that it's kind of one of the things you DO check before you move to a place. The first question me and my wife ALWAYS ask, and not only the owner of the house but also the neighbors is "how's the water situation?". If there's an issue, well I wouldn't be moving there.
This is when a drought started, massive water problems but new Jeeps and uniforms and they would not honor contracts and we left the (non) public system. No regrets and no water bills. We do more then fine without them.This is the first I have heard of AAA Dominicana and their part in the north coast corruption in CORAAPPLATA.

Water company ends contract with the AAA Dominicana company
In a press conference, director Oliver Nazario Brugal of the water company CORAAPLATA announced that the cooperation with the AAA Dominicana company is ending. Since June 2014, this company has been collecting the water money that individuals and companies have to pay for the use of tap water. They also take care of shutting down the water supply if customers fail to pay. When reconnecting, they charge connection costs. According to the director of the water company, there is fraudulent behavior in the collection of water charges. Companies have to pay water money while they do not get tap water. Furthermore, only about fifty percent of the collected amount is paid to the water company. The water company even receives only ten percent of the reconnection of customers.
Water company ends contract
Oliver Nazario Brugal announced that from now on the water company will collect the water fees itself.

S.O.V. is building a huge water park. Should not be a concern since they have been a water use place for years.
Sorry to go off topic, but really, they are making their water park even bigger? They constantly add stuff to that place making it bigger and better. I know that they have their own wells though and they are now starting to install water meters on all of the properties inside SOV.
Check if you bill is based on Promedio -or Estimate. Also check with a previous bill if "Lectura Antes and the Lectura Actual have changed based on the 20 CM you have been billed.
You think if Seahorse was out of water as long as Perla Marina strings would not be pulled?
For at least the first 5 years of more of my 18 years living at one place here in Cabarete, there was over 40 lbs of water pressure ALL the time. It steadily fell in pressure first and then in frequency over time. I have only run out of water twice in those 18 years. The first time was because a major storm clogged up the system. But I suppose it could get worse. I could not predict the incompetency and corruption of CORAAPPLATA back in 2003. The problems are from a lack of planning and corruption.
