The rains of recent days have left 67 water supply systems out of service and two more operating partially in the Dominican Republic, with 948,603 users affected, according to figures from the emergency authorities reported on Wednesday, 28 October, by the online newspaper 7días.com.do.
According to the same outlet, homes have been flooded in several localities: 147 in Palmar de Ocoa and 86 in Punta de Garza, both in Azua, as well as others in Santo Domingo, Peravia, San Cristóbal and Barahona. In the Capotillo neighbourhood, in the National District, 11 people were displaced.
The Emergency Operations Centre (COE) is keeping several provinces on yellow alert and has banned bathing in rivers and pools, according to 7días.com.do. The overflowing of the Seibo River cut off communities in El Seibo, and the rise of the Yabacao River forced the closure of the Juan Pablo II motorway, in Monte Plata.
Story under review: the data come from a single outlet and we have not been able to open the COE bulletin or information from the water authority on which areas remain without supply and when it will be restored.
This story stands on its own facts. The Post Apocalyptic does not link it to other incidents unless the sources demonstrate a connection.
