La Democracia Resident Speak Out Over ‘Dirty’ Water Supply

News 5 has learnt that residents of La Democracia Village are facing water supply issues. According to local resident Chelsie Hyde, “The lack of access to clean, safe water poses serious health risks and disrupts the basic functioning of our community,” said Chelsie Hyde, a resident of the village. 

Hyde stated that “In recent weeks, the village has been experiencing frequent interruptions in water supply, with no running water on some mornings. When water is available, its quality is alarming—it’s so brown that it leaves stains.”

Hyde explained that while some families in the village have access to rainwater vats or can afford to buy clean water, many other families rely solely on the village’s water. 

“The lack of access to clean, safe water poses serious health risks and disrupts the basic functioning of our community,” Hyde added. 

News 5 reached out to Valentino Shal, CEO of the Ministry of Rural Transformation and Community Development, for comment.
