And charge the Government or Private entity must, for there is no such thing as a Free Lunch. Dominicans must realize that modernization and all these infrastructural advancement come at a cost. Maintenance and depreciation of these projects must go hand in hand or the same problems that plague other services will follow.

I am interested to know where the water actually comes from ...I suppose there must be some dam in the hills above las Terrenas ,,it is a great improvement for the people living in this beautiful part of the DR . Of course ,the residents have to pay for the water supply ..and this includes the private houses and the various hotels and commercial operations there .
LF has done a good job in this type of infrastructure improvement ,,,I remember that San Pedro de macoris and Ek Seibo also had upgraded water systems . Nothing much had been done for decades before . It is just a pity that in these changing economic times LF and his adminstration have not been responsible in reigning in their extravagant current expenditure .
