The case with DR is Santiago has BIG sanitation Issues and those that are in charge of keeping the city clean(and are collecting feeds to do the job.) pretend that when it rains that the sewer system is working. The systems that been replaced are not being enlarge, and no where is there any improvement more necessary than in sewer system the system and health department is build for a smaller population for argument say let say 1/2 Million, and I think I am being generous. Rainwater get into the same system and there is your problem. My house is fully screened I don't have a pest problem, but most citizens don't like to have to maintain these screen. My maid is quite efficient thank you very much. Even if I did not have a maid my household can be maintain by one person staying on top of the work on a daily basis, I am older not mentally or physically handicap..
Yes Maria you are right, Santiago city drain sistem is no woking properly, I agreed with you this is a big problem for the citizens, many people are getting sick. tow of my three doughter must be hospitalized at a very spency hospital. One for typhoid fever and the other one for denge fever. Every day I had to drive over the human waste floodind steets on my way home, by " Hormigones Industriales " at the end of the pricipal av. in la Villa Olimpica, same problem had been there for years and the city never fix it.
Some time my car was so stinky that it was necesary to rise the tires before to drive it into the garage.
