It would be nice if the government is as aggressive in providing services to the Dominican people as it does for tourists.

There is a shortage of uncontaminated potable water across the country (and the island). In an island, land and bodies of portable water are the two more important elements (a lot more than democracy, liberty, and greed). Your wimpy democracy continues to distract society with issues not related to what is important to the country.
You are sharing an island with an irresponsible and hostile neighboring country, so it is your responsibility is to secure both LAND and BODIES OF PORTABLE WATER regardless of capitalism or democracy!

Will the government be footing the bill to bring water from Paraiso-Oviedo-Pedernales, a distance of about 90 km? It will be very costly. More than likely it will include construction of pump plants and reservoirs. Do not be surprised there will be a suggestion to put some part of national forest to some use to support this project.
