·3 min
The episode features an interview with Irma Bobadilla, a board member of the Tezal housing complex, focusing on local water infrastructure problems. Bobadilla explains that over 20,000 people, approximately 5,000 families, reside in Tezal. She reports that leaks have been documented, specifically irregular drainage from Jacuzzis in penthouse units of Velas condominiums. Instead of going to treatment plants, this water flows directly onto the street through pipes along the roadside. Bobadilla clarifies these are not leaks but irregular discharges, happening consistently from the buildings. She questions the frequency, noting Jacuzzis aren't drained daily, suggesting the spill might be treated wastewater from treatment plants. This suspicion arises due to Tezal's lack of proper drainage, forcing all discharges to treat their own water. The episode then shifts to a major aqueduct leak affecting the area from Cabo Bello to Lomas del Sol. Bobadilla describes a brutal leak where a critical node near the Tamar condominium broke again yesterday. Repairs have been attempted three or four times by the company Aqualia, under the direction of Omsapas, but failures recur. This break causes water outages across Tezal to Lomas del Sol, impacting the entire side of the city. Bobadilla expresses hope for a prompt response to resolve the issue. The interview format allows for detailed firsthand accounts of these crises. Recurring themes include infrastructure neglect, corporate accountability with Aqualia and Omsapas, and community impact on thousands of residents. Key moments include the initial revelation of Jacuzzi drainage, the speculation about treated wastewater, and the description of the aqueduct failure. The episode provides a comprehensive walkthrough of water management failures in Tezal, emphasizing both specific incidents and broader systemic challenges.
