Havana/In Cuba, tourists also have to be grateful to the revolution. This suggests at least Invaderthat this Wednesday went to defend the titanic task that is carry water from blind from Ávila even the hotels of the North Cayería. After the simple gesture of opening a key in one of the spas are dozens of kilometers of drivers built with the “sacrifice” of the country, says the newspaper, a service in which none of the vacationers, very busy enjoying their rest, is thought to think.
The article comes a day after 14ymedio give the news of the Hotels closure, all of them luxury, by Cayo Cruzin Camagüey, due to problems with the supply, and the transfer of guests to other Ciego de Ávila facilities. However, the official newspaper does not mention the incident once and, on the contrary, presents its information with a triumphant tone.
Invader It wears out in exposing numbers and data that show that, in practice, the supply to the keys is great to the province. The water, he explains, comes from the municipality of Morón, specifically from the Basins of Patria III and Los Satos, which face “the strategic challenge of responding to the demand of 1,831 users, of which 1,665 are nuclei of the residential sector settled in the Turiguanó Popular Council and the rest real estate or state structures: 24 hotels, two villas and 140 extrahothera facilities”.
167.9 kilometers of water conductors and other supply networks “throughout the pedraplén and beyond it” have been installed “and beyond it”
In total, he adds, 167.9 kilometers of water drivers and other supply networks “throughout the pedraplén and beyond it” have been installed – in recent years about 64 kilometers have been repaired – in addition to 48.7 kilometers of wastewater networks.
To move that amount of water, it emphasizes, four pumping stations are needed, located in Cayo Coco (two units), Cayo Guillermo and Cayo Romano. All are “duly equipped,” the newspaper presumes, and can be stored together up to 5,000 cubic meters.
In high tourism season, during the winter months, when demand grows, the falling can need up to 200 liters per second. “Patria III and Satos, however, are in a position to pay 140 and 210 liters per second, respectively, a flow that could even respond to polo demands with the insertion of new facilities provided for in the Territorial Planning Plan,” he says Invader.
If the situation is optimal, as the provincial newspaper argues, and the same is expected from the rest of hotel facilities, what happened then in Cayo Cruz? Invader He does not say it, but his grandiloquent defense makes two things clear: even with the necessary means, bringing water through the pedraplén exceeds the capacity of hydraulic resources; And, in the midst of a disastrous drought And with most interrupted or broken supply systems, tourism remains a priority.
Just yesterday the newspaper I realized the water situation In the province, which reports “breakage, hydrological drought – as average, dams are 41% filling – and important complications because of the energy crisis.” As a consequence, only in the city header the supply (cycles) has become every nine days and, in one day, up to 10,000 inhabitants can be affected.
“The fuel deficit also has other implications, such as the limitation of water shot by pipe”
According to the general director of Aqueduct and Sewerage, Miroslava Reyes, of 196 water pumps in the territory, five are “inoperative due to technical problems.” The number is not significant, says the local newspaper, but “aggravates a situation overflowed with problems.”
Alternative sources do not solve anything: “The fuel deficit also has other implications, such as the limitation of the water shooting per pipe. Depending on these insurance, up to 15 tanks are used for a day, especially for vital services, without fulfilling all the population demand,” admits the newspaper.
However, while the drivers of the Keys are renewed periodically and the bombs work as Swiss watches to bring water to tourists, the only solution that has found aqueduct and sewerage to the poor supply to the population has been to fix –300 salider in the last two months – to prevent water from being wasted.
Therefore, the situation of Cayo Cruz is surprising, from which explanations have not been offered. A Publication of this Wednesday by Dairon Castro, administrator of the social networks of one of the luxury establishments of the enclave, Sanctuary White Sands, regrets that the situation continues in them.
“With great regret I inform you that despite the effort made it has not yet been able to solve the situation with the water supply in the Cayo Cruz tourist pole. It continues to work intensely. The orientation so far for foreign clients is to keep in touch with their travel agents, they will explain how to proceed, and for national clients, they must contact the bureaus where they made their reservations so that they give them the information to give them the information. His reservations, ”he wrote.
