More than two weeks after malicious acts which damaged the main water pipe in Guadeloupe, “around 5,000 households still do not have continuous water” “We have not had water for 17 days now. Despite reminders every day for four days from the water service, nothing is happening,” says Hervé Ragot, a resident of Gosier.

At the time of the acts of vandalism, nearly 130,000 users were deprived of water amid a strike at SMGEAG which has since been suspended.
