The Area Representative for Cayo Central where Cristo Rey is located has been assisting with providing water to the villagers, according to Chairman Guerra. And this evening, Balona explained to us that he has been getting the water delivered to the village using a bowser, but that the challenge has been reaching some of the residents in the higher elevations. He said that the issue will be resolved by Monday.

“So far we got a secondary opinion and everything seems to be fine with the electrical part of the system, so what we are doing now is tomorrow with the assistance from the Ministry of Rural Transformation, we’ll be extracting the pump to find out what is there with the impellers or the line that feeds from the pump to the tank. So tomorrow we will actually know what is the problem on the line, but everything seems to be fine on the electrical part of it. Now the water board has been pumping every evening and most of the residents are getting their water at early morning. So we just came from out there and we were giving out water to those who didn’t get, but most of the people in the lower sections got water last night. Only the higher areas are the ones that didn’t get their waterWe are hoping that by the end of tomorrow we can give them some good news and we are hoping that everything is back to normal, even the school for Monday.”
