Rains ease Greater Santo Domingo’s water crunch

Santo Domingo.- Greater Santo Domingo’s aqueduct utility (CAASD) on Sunday said potable water service has improved after the rains over the Isa, Duey and Haina river basins, adding 47 million gallons to be distributed today Monday across the urban area.

CAASD director Alejandro Montas said that production on Sunday jumped from 303 to 350 million gallons per day.

He said the Haina-Manoguayabo aqueduct system, whose production hasn’t exceeded 22 million gallons per day since the current drought began, is currently producing 55 million gallons per day.
