Some 20.000 people in the area of La Uruca and Pavas were without water Saturday, due to a break in a 40 year old water main in front of Pozuelo cookie factory in La Uruca.
The AyA (water and sewer utility) worked all day on the problem, restoring water service about 5:00pm Saturday.
Drivers in the area had to go around the water, which one eye witness told the Q, “it was like during a rain storm”.
All of La Uruca, Rohrmoser and Pavas were without water from a little after 9:00am.
AyA authorities blame the deteriorated water pipe.
