 The community of Villanueva has more than 750 inhabitants and the new aqueduct will complete the main basic services for the population.

The inhabitants of Villanueva, a rural settlement in the municipality of Las Tunas, will enjoy drinking water through the aqueduct service in just over two months so that the hardships due to the lack of this natural resource will end, which - in this neighborhood - is almost nil and must be distributed through tank trucks until now.

Las Tunas, Cuba.- Piedad Herrera Núñez, the director of the Aqueduct and Sewerage Company in the capital demarcation of this eastern Cuban province, announced the news during the Por Nosotros Mismos (By Ourselves) Integrated Community Work, carried out on this site. A pumping system from the Lebanón station has been approved, she said, and seven kilometers of pipe have already been completed from the main pipeline to a 72,000-liter capacity cistern, recovered in the town. They are also going to connect the houses located on the side of the road, which would eliminate the distribution of water in trucks.

During the event, the dissatisfactions of the population of “Villanueva,” one of the five communities that are transformed in a first stage in the municipality of Las Tunas, were analyzed.

Por Nosotros Mismos Integrated Community Work in Villanueva"We are building the pumping station and also contracted the Metal Structures Company (METUNAS) to make the beams for the elevated tank. The second part of the project provides for the piping of the remaining areas so that all of Villanueva is connected to the new aqueduct, which we must finish next March 30,” Herrera Núñez pointed out.

This community has been clamoring for drinking water for many years. However, the aqueduct is only a definitive solution for the population, because livestock farming, a fundamental economic activity in the area, requires large quantities for the animals. So, farmers and organizations must look for alternatives for the correct exploitation of more than 56 existing wells, like the installation of windmills, and other initiatives.

The neighbors have two other dissatisfactions: the dirt floors of many houses and the poor cell phone coverage, which prevents the proper development of communications. In this regard, the authorities insisted and directed the implementation of concrete actions to solve the first matter in the shortest possible time. About the second, everything indicates that it will continue to be a pending issue, at least until next year; since the future installation of a 4G base radio in Bartle is the investment that could benefit them, geographically, and that town is very far away.

Other issues were also discussed at the meeting, among which the production and marketing of milk stood out, as it is an eminent livestock area. According to Manuel René Pérez Gallego, a member of the Central Committee and first secretary of the Communist Party of Cuba (PCC) in Las Tunas, each producer must be reached so that the largest amount of this food is collected.
