RD$300 million eliminates cesspool

[NewsWhore]

Good-bye cesspool, and hello, park. This is the story in today's El Caribe that says that within a few more weeks the eyesore that was the putrid lagoon at the intersection of Nunez de Caceres and Gustavo Mejia Ricart avenues in one of Santo Domingo's better neighborhoods will become a beautiful park area for families to enjoy. The new ecological park will be opened in October, according to Santo Domingo Waterworks (CAASD) director Richard Martinez. According to the director, the water used for the park will be potable and clean. Most of the RD$300 million used to eliminate the cesspool was used to channel away the sewage water that used to gravitate to the low-lying area. Local neighborhood groups have also assisted in the creation of the new park.
