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.
