Guatemalan Congressman Exposes Millions of Liters of Wasted Water

Water Crisis in Guatemala: Millions of Liters Wasted Due to Negligence Guatemala is facing a water crisis, with millions of liters of treated water being wasted daily due to a large leak at the Santa Luisa water plant. Congressman Cristian Álvarez GT brought the issue to light in a recent video, highlighting the lack of action from local authorities. The video shows a significant leak in the plant's infrastructure, resulting in a substantial loss of treated water. "This is the sad reality of EMPAGUA," said Álvarez GT in the video. "They are more concerned with making money than providing essential services to the people." The leak has been ongoing for years, according to the congressman, and despite investments in the plant, no effort has been made to repair the damage. This negligence is causing a major water shortage in the area and raises concerns about the mismanagement of public funds. The video concludes with a plea for the authorities to address the problem and ensure the efficient use of water resources. The incident underscores the need for greater accountability and transparency in the management of public utilities in Guatemala.
