The installation of a generator that will allow the desalination plant in Punta de Maisí which will provide services 24 hours a day, and improve the water supply cycles in that settlement, is part of the actions to appease the intense drought in that easternmost Cuban municipality.
It is expected that the generator to cover up to six hours in which the desalination plant automatically stops due to low voltage, as electricity consumption increases during peak time, and also due to its location.
Lexis Suárez Ramírez, director of the Provincial Water Enterprise, said that the first nine tanks assigned by the Institute of Water Resources (INRH) were also received to install easy access points in the community of La Máquina.
Suarez Ramirez pointed out that more than thirty of these deposits were demanded for the benefit of all the communities of the municipality, the most affected by drought in Guantanamo due to the partial or total depression of the vast majority of its sources of supply.
He also said that this process is possible thanks to the support of INRH and the country’s top authorities.
