In addition, heavy rains caused a great amount of sedimentation in the water intake system of the treatment plant in Algarrobos, which is also out of operation. The regional director of the water authority Idaan, Youbert De Puy, said that teams were sent to do repairs, so the plants are expected to be operational soon. De Puy explained that strong currents in the David River have complicated the repairs to the Algarrobos plant, which draws its water from that river. Workers will have to wait for the currents to ease before clearing the intake pipes. http://www.prensa.com/in_english/Potabilizadoras-Chiriqui-Algarrobos-afectadas-lluvias_21_4752484708.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
