Pat Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 “This sure is the truth!” Yeah but.........what about better road system; better electrical system; better telephone system, etc. I think the real problems could be lack of planning, knowledge, and corruption. A poor education system is the root of all these conditions is my thinking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Moderator_02 Posted March 2, 2018 Moderators Share Posted March 2, 2018 Quote OPINION: Panama deserves better water system Posted on March 1, 2018 in Panama Six day repair project Post Views: 201 THE SITUATION of the lack of drinking water in the last week in the capital city has served as a reminder of how weak the Idaan [Water and Sewer Authority] is. This institution has been punished by improvisation, politicking and clientelism. Panamanians do not have the water that we deserve, if not the one we pay. For more than 30 years the water tariff has stagnated, the infrastructure of the pipes presents a deplorable state and the entity has lost its ability to solve problems with its own resources. The real price of this crisis is not only the water lost and how much it has cost to repair the broken pipes. It also includes the damage caused to those businesses that could not serve their clientele, hospitals and clinics that limited their attention and the infinity of annoyances faced by families, businesses and all those who depend on drinking water for their daily tasks. The Idaan does not deserve the bad luck it has, but neither can it be a saddlebag full of damages, and of omissions that take away healthy water from a thirsty country. We cannot tolerate more mistakes and clumsiness. This is simply unacceptable …La Prensa, Mar.1 http://www.newsroompanama.com/news/panama/opinion-panama-deserves-better-water-system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
