It's a shame the situation the country is going through and in the Fraternidad Arroyo Naranjo neighborhood on Silvia Street there is a clean water pipe that runs down the street for a great distance and nobody cares about it while some suffer from this serious situation here it is wasted and I ask myself where the council delegate and the delegates are that this can be fixed with a piece of bicycle inner tube what a shame that I am a woman and I can't make any strength. Thank you very much and I hope someone reads this and finds a solution.
In the gap, the smooth one, three shifts ago they didn't put in much or little, today still nothing at all.
For God's sake, a problem here in Zamora Marianao is not being solved. We have been without water for more than 15 days and not even a tanker truck or the delegate of district # 2 knows anything about what this is.
We've been experiencing water shortages for over five months, and they say they're working on it, but the problems are never resolved. Until when? Or do they want us to look unhealthy?
Good morning! The Antonio Guiteras neighborhood in East Havana isn't mentioned in any of the affected areas. But we've still been without water for days, and we don't even have enough to drink. And there are no water trucks, nor anywhere to get water. What's happening to us? We were once without water for three months because a valve wouldn't open completely due to negligence. I REPEAT: WE DON'T EVEN HAVE WATER TO DRINK, NOR A POSSIBLE SOLUTION, AND THEY DON'T EVEN LIST US AS AFFECTED. UNTIL WHEN?

San Miguel del Padrón, Tejas District, I don't understand why, if it belongs to the Diezmero, council 3 has had water for three days and they haven't opened the connection to our District.
When it's not Juan it's Pedro, whenever there is a problem, no matter how small, everything is affected, from water to food, and I wonder if the cyclone, hurricane, tropical wave or whatever you call it didn't pass through the West, why so much trouble? This means that if a meteorological event passes through the West we will be affected for at least 10 years, this is already unbearable.
