The Santo Domingo Water Corporation (CAASD) welcomed the weekend thunder storms and said that the rains improved the water levels in the Isa, Duey and Haina rivers, adding an additional 47 million gallons to the National District and West Santo Domingo water supply.
Alejandro Montas, director of CAASD, said that water volume is up from 303 million to 350 million gallons per day. He said the higher water volume is a great relief for the agency and residents in the National District and the Province of Santo Domingo. Montas noted that the Haina-Manoguayabo water system that more than doubled its volume, currently reaching 55 million gallons of water per day, compared to only 22 million gallons of water per day just a few weeks ago.
He said that likewise, the water volumes in the Isa-Mana and Duey systems are increasing.
More rains are forecast for the next 48 hours, as a front moves in from Cuba.
