What about the privately owned “water trust” extorting over $5000 per paja in El Coco, Ocotal and Hermosa? What happened to water as a basic human right under CR law? How about equal treatment under the law? Interestingly, the fee being charged by the trust doesn’t apply to single family homes, primarily occupied by Ticos, but rather to multi-family developments, primarily owned by foreigners.

This, plus the continual rate hikes for utilities have prompted us to begin producing our own electricity and water collection systems.

I see busted pipes leaking in some areas for days on end.. Some are just trickling leaks near the Clinic Clorito Picado been leaking for months. This kind of thing X thousand though out the country one reason. The other these hydro dams also take a huge amount of water. I am not sure this effects us here in SJ .. Spider sense tells me AyA another price hike.

There is an abundance of water in this country. This is a perfect example of complete and utter mismanagement of this resource with the result being lost jobs for Costa Ricans.
