The rains that fell over the past few days have significantly improved water supplies to homes in Greater Santo Domingo. Santo Domingo Water and Sewer Corporation (CAASD) director Freddy Perez says that his agency currently has the capacity to supply 300 million gallons of water a day, but he noted that consumption is 400 million gallons a day. Perez said that the rains have come as a "blessing", since they began at a time when the CAASD was only able to supply a little over 100 million gallons of water daily. He used the opportunity to urge the public to pay for this service since only 13% do so.
Diario Libre writes that the Emergency Operations Center (COE) has issued a green alert for eight provinces as a preventive measure in response to the recent heavy rains. The rainfall is caused by a system that "continues to influence the country, supplying abundant humidity and instability to produce showers, thunder and lightning with heavy wind gusts over practically the whole country", said the agency. The provinces under alert are Santo Domingo, Monte Plata, Maria Trinidad Sanchez, Sanchez Ramirez, Duarte, Samana, Santiago and the National District.
