The Provincial Delegation of Hydraulic Resources is carrying out a series of investments. Aimed at improving the water supply for the population of Holguin, amidst the fuel crisis affecting the country.
Rafael Montero, a specialist with the agency, explained via social media that the main projects are concentrated in the municipalities of Cueto, Cacocum, Mayari, and Gibara. With progress being made on water treatment plants and pipelines designed to provide gravity-fed service.
These projects prioritize areas affected by drought, vulnerable neighborhoods, and settlements whose water cycles are disrupted. By leaks or other factors that hinder access to this vital resource.
He added that the strategy will benefit areas such as Biran and Caletones. Which are prioritized in government programs aimed at improving basic services.
The specialist detailed the progress being made on the Cueto Water Treatment Plant. Also in which has been equipped with a photovoltaic system to power the civil works.
Despite the difficult situation the country is facing due to the intensification of the United States’ hostile policy against Cuba and its impact on the fuel shortage. Alternatives are being sought to provide electricity to pumping stations and ensure quality service for the population.
The eastern province has more than 100 solar-powered systems benefiting rural and hard-to-reach communities. Supplying water to areas without electricity or during emergencies affecting the National Electric System.
Holguin is also making progress on feasibility studies included in the Cuban water program. Such as drilling new wells and eliminating flood-prone areas.
