Chavista blames Venezuelans for failing water infrastructure: YOU USE TOO MUCH WATER!

Government will replace water pumps in Tuy I, II and III systems in the coming days
Published February 19, 2018

The Minister of Ecosocialism and Water, Ramón Velásquez Araguayán, informed on February 19 that in the following days the replacement of hydraulic pumps and motors that help pumping the resource in the Tuy I, Tuy II and Tuy III systems will begin. that the distribution of water in Caracas will be optimized.

Interviewed on VTV, Velásquez Araguayán denounced that Venezuelans are wasteful of water and that currently they waste more than international standards indicate, which states that a person can use about 250 liters of water daily.

When asked about the current water infrastructure, he acknowledged that the same needs to be renewed "not only in Caracas, but throughout the country", so he indicated that it is also necessary to perform the required maintenance. In this regard, he stressed that the first shipment of pumps and engines from China arrived to the country to begin the replacement of equipment that has already given its useful life, starting with the Greater Caracas system.

He also took time to claim that the reason the infrastructure hadn't been updated/maintained in 20 years was the "economic war". Whew. I thought for a moment he might forget!
