“We feel powerless,” lamented Jessica Crispim, a resident of the Gravata neighborhood in Navegantes. Since December 24, the taps in her house have dried up.

Jessica claims that the problem started on the 21st due to lack of water during the day. The delivery came at night when the water tank was full, but after Christmas the delivery did not occur even at night. The water that comes in is dirty.

To try to solve this problem, the municipal government of Navegantes is supplying houses with water trucks and installing water tanks in public places, such as schools, where residents can go to fetch water.

A water treatment plant is being built in the new reservoir, which should double the reserve capacity of the municipality. This is an effort to minimize a problem that has been around for over 35 years.
