Represa Cerrillo meets daily water demand despite concerns over Lago Dos Bocas

In a recent meeting of the Comisión de Innovación, Telecomunicaciones, Urbanismo e Infraestructura, critical discussions centered around water supply issues affecting local communities. A significant focus was placed on the operations of the triple A water authority, which is responsible for distributing water from various reservoirs, including the important Lago Dos Bocas.

During the meeting, officials highlighted that the triple A supplies approximately 19 million gallons of water daily to the area, specifically to what they refer to as "planta nueva" and "planta vieja." However, there was a notable lack of clarity regarding the specific communities and families benefiting from this supply. This uncertainty raises concerns about the transparency of water distribution and the potential impact on residents who rely on these resources.

The discussion also touched on the capacity of the reservoirs, with officials confirming that the current infrastructure is designed to meet the existing demand. The triple A's operations are reportedly stable, with no immediate need for expansion or additional storage. However, there were calls for more detailed information regarding the Lago Dos Bocas, particularly concerning its sedimentation issues and the lack of dredging, which could affect its ability to supply water to many families in the metropolitan area.

The meeting underscored the importance of addressing these water supply challenges, as they directly impact the daily lives of residents. As the community continues to grow, ensuring a reliable and transparent water supply will be crucial for maintaining public health and quality of life. Moving forward, stakeholders are encouraged to prioritize the needs of the community and provide clearer information regarding water management and distribution efforts.
