More than 42,000 residents are without drinking water in Tame, Arauca, after an avalanche: reconstruction of the aqueduct would cost up to $ 8 billion

More than 42,000 residents of Tame, Arauca, remain without access to clean water after an avalanche caused by the river's flood destroyed parts of the municipal water intake and distribution infrastructure. The incident occurred approximately a week ago and has disrupted water supply services. Authorities and the local utility company, Caribabare E.S.P., are working to restore the system while implementing a contingency plan using tankers to distribute water. The damage includes the destruction of three main pipes and disruption of the pipeline leading to the treatment plant. The reconstruction is estimated to cost between $5,000 million and $8,000 million. Weather conditions have hindered damage assessments and recovery efforts.
