To date, 119 neighborhoods in Santa Marta have benefited from this program implemented by Mayor Virna Johnson.
In development of the ‘Ruta del agua’ program, the Santa Marta Mayor’s Office continues to attend to the public calamity that is registered in the city due to the lack of this resource in the different neighborhoods, due to the ineffectiveness of the Essmar intervention, which did not present or execute a contingency plan to meet the needs of the samariums, who for several months have suffered from a lack of liquid in their homes.

Thanks to the ‘Ruta del agua’, thousands of families have been able to make up for the lack of water resource, as is the case of Margarita Pavagea, ICBF community mother in the Nacho Vives sector. “I have 12 children in my care, the truth is that we are quite affected; both me and the children, because sometimes they don’t come home due to lack of that precious liquid that we need, because we already had about 15 days that the water did not arrive and we had to buy it, but the money is not enough, Water is very necessary because the children go to the bathroom, to cook, we have to bathe them and do the cleaning, it is very important”, he mentioned.
