[NewsWhore]

The Santo Domingo Water and Sewer Corporation (CAASD) has announced cutbacks in service due to the low levels of water in the Haina-Manoguayabo system, a consequence of the latest dry spell. A press release by the CAASD says that normal water production for the system that supplies water to much of the southeast sector of Santo Domingo province is 3.35 m3 per second and at that the system is currently capable of producing only 1.40m3 per second. The CAASD said that the sectors affected would include Buenos Aires, Libertador, Las Palmas, Reparto Rosa, Villa Aura, Barrio Enriquillo, Manoguayabo, La Venta, Las Caobas, the Herrera Industrial Zone and Las Praderas. CAASD director Freddy Perez said that the corporation would try to ease the situation with a fleet of tanker trucks. At the same time, the CAASD appealed to the public to save water.
