Havana: Little water and lots of trash on the streets
In a recent planning meeting chaired by Prime Minister Manuel Marrero, hot topics of relevance for Havana were discussed. Among them, two of the issues that most affect the population: water supply and garbage collection.

Despite the serious problems that have recently arisen with the city’s water supply, primarily caused by the breakdown of many pumping systems and the insufficient number of tanker trucks supplying the precious liquid to an increasingly larger number of customers, the governor of the capital, Yanet Hernández Pérez, attempted to present the situation with certain hints of optimism.
