Open sewer threatens community
HAVANA, Cuba, August 30 (Richard Roselló
/ www.cubanet.org) - An open sewer about
three blocks long has become a breeding
ground for mosquitoes and disease in Batabanó,
south of Havana.
For the last 11 months, residents of Las
Biplantas in the municipality have been
petitioning authorities to correct the spillage
of black water coming from the buildings
on 68 and 77 Streets.
"The pumping system is broken, and
the water ends up being discharged on the
streets. We are practically swimming in
them," said one young man in the neighborhood.
