Santiago.- The director of the Santiago Water and Sewerage Corporation (Coraasan), Andrés Cueto, assured that 70% of the population does not pay for the drinking water service in this city.

Cueto offered these statements at the inauguration of the sanitary sewer system in Los Apontes, Tamboril and Monte Adentro, works and highlighted that, of every 100 users that Coraasan has, only 30% pay for the water, which he said represents a loss of 70% which he attributes to the lack of consequences.

However, the official explained that despite the situation with the team accompanying them, charges have increased and the supply of drinking water has improved, as the public has perceived.

He stated that it is a minimum payment of 700 pesos, which includes garbage collection, and treating the water requires an investment.

We pay for energy, buy chlorine, energy, sulfate and fuel for the movement,” explained the general manager of Corasan.

That is why he asked the citizens to collaborate with them and to continue passing the water because they offer the service with much love and dedication.
