Water from the Guaire River? No thanks. I'd rather die of dehydration than cholera, dysentery

After blackout, citizens are supplied with water on the banks of the Guaire River

11-03-19.-The national blackout suffered by the city of Caracas and several states of the country has complicated the distribution of water in the capital

Through social networks and neighborhood groups runs the information that there will be no water in Caracas because Hidrocapital's pumping systems do not have enough electricity to operate. In several communities the liquid does not arrive and the inhabitants have run out of reserves.



Translation: #Caracas | Police officials warned the public that they are taking water from the Guaire River, which is not suitable for consumption, and helped cross the highway to those who ignored the communiqué #11Mar -via @ genesiscs http: // elpitazo.net

In the capital there are direct water intakes in Cota Mil, from Ávila, where very long queues have been organized to collect in bottles and other containers.

Through images and videos published on the networks, it has been possible to confirm that people are being supplied with water in the falls of streams that flow into the reversions of the Guaire River. They are not sewage, but they are not potable either.

The stink alone is enough to make a billygoat puke.

.......our small town is without any water when the power is down because the only well in town uses an electrical pump to move the water. On the way back from Punta de Mata today, we saw people in lines in several places filling whatever containers they had with water. Same in El Tejero.

And speaking with buddy on the other side of the country tonight, he said the same.....water has gotten critical there as well.
