Santo Domingo—The Santo Domingo Aqueduct and Sewerage Corporation (CAASD) announced that its brigades will work permanently during the holidays to guarantee efficient drinking water supply in the National District and the province.
In a press release, the institution informed that the technical teams and the call center will work 24 hours a day during Christmas Eve and Christmas.

In this sense, it explained that, as usual, the personnel of the Operations Department and the Project Executing Unit will be working permanently to provide an immediate response to any eventualities that may arise.

“Our priority is to guarantee a quality service to the population of Greater Santo Domingo in a constant and responsible manner,” said the Corporation.

It also pointed out that during the week just ended, drinking water production reached 408 million gallons per day, an optimum amount that benefits the residents of Greater Santo Domingo.
