The Santo Domingo Water and Sewage Corporation (CAASD) announced on Tuesday, 22 August 2017, that it will begin supplying bottled watered to government offices and in the future to hospitals and schools in Greater Santo Domingo.
“We are working to be able to supply the public offices of Greater Santo Domingo in the future,” said deputy director of operations of the CAASD, Luis Salcedo. Salcedo said that potability index of the water processed by the CAASD is more than 98%. He said that the CAASD spends RD$140 million a year to treat the water it serves. He says contamination happens primarily due to inadequate management after it is served through the pipes.
