Historically, during PLD Governments, they never noticed that. For example, the area in Santo Domingo where Leonel Fernandez and Maria Cedeño live, doesn't have water for years. All new towers in the area are built with water wells, all older towers and private houses drilled them as well. If some building in the area has a problem with their well, you see water trucks coming to them every other day.For two months Sosua and a great part of North Coast is without water and no one in the press or government appears to even notice it, much less do somthing about it.
Where are you located? I am in Sosua and we have no water problem. It sounds like a localized problem. Having no water in your area doesn't mean Sosoua and whole North Coast doesn'tFor two months Sosua and a great part of North Coast is without water and no one in the press or govrnment appears to even notice it, much less do somthing about it.
why worry about things like water, a functioning sewage system, massive pot holes and electricity when there are more important things to worry about. Like Chicas running around in spandex with high heels. That's where all the resources are devoted.
My country, the UK, had government run water companies until quite recently. There was always water. Now that it has been privatised it is no better for anyone except the company shareholders. There is no reason why the DR cannot run a successful water distribution operation, but first they have to get rid of waste and corruption.This is what happens when the government runs a utility. The corruption is incredible with the guy who was in charge of Coraaplata in the town actually having a water delivery service on the side. We used to have 35 to 40 pounds of pressure all the time years ago. For the past several years it has been 15 pounds and they turn it off completely at least 2 days a week. An incredible company they are. Ludicrous.
There are many municipalities throughout the RD that do have water, functioning sewage systems, 24/7 electricity, and roads without potholes.
Some should feel free to expand their horizons, of course, if they so choose.
Life is full of choices.
In my country in all the years I lived there...not one time did the water or electricity go out ...never...and thats the local goverments running the water and electric service... when I was a child I still remember the electric company running commercals on TV, and saying "electric is penny cheap" and it was.. when I moved from Minnesota about 6 years ago my water bill a month was $12 and electric was about $30... you should get some of those people down here to run things.............My country, the UK, had government run water companies until quite recently.

I am sure Sosua proper has water, not so sure about the fringes. At least they did a few days ago when I was in a restaurant washing my hands. The sewage and drainage system has always had problems. Think about that next time it rains and you see 6 to 8 inches of water on P/C.

Yes, there are communities outside Sosua that have trouble with water, electricity, etc.I am sure Sosua proper has water, not so sure about the fringes.

I've left countless messages in the past weeks with Coraapplata in Puerto Plata and never had my calls returned. A disgusting company with no accountability.
