December 4th, 2014 (InsideCostaRica.com) Some 5,000 residents of San Pablo de Heredia who have been without running water since Tuesday will continue to go without the essential service until at least next Thursday, according to Barva municipal authorities.

 

Authorities said on Wednesday that the problem is the result of damage caused to a primary supply pipeline as the result of strong winds.

 

Municipal officials said that residents would be delivered water by cistern trucks until water service is restored, which will take at least seven more days.

    This is really inexcusable absent a natural disaster. Was there a reason given for this situation? It is telling that the writer of this article didn’t think it necessary to explain why.

    Where I live, such problems are common. Barva usually does a better job than my municipality. I had so many incidents lasting a week or so due to a “broken tube” somewhere that I tired of using large water bottles and finally broke down and had a tower built for a large water tank to supply my house. People in the cities don’t realize how it is once one gets a few km into the country.

    There is so much work necessary to provide an adequate infrastructure in this country. I hate paying taxes as much as anyone, but we must pay our fair shares in order to remedy such problems. We must stop “low-balling” property values and engaging in other activities that enable tax dodging, or we will never see decent roads and bridges, sewage treatment, or reliable water supplies.
