Keith Woolford Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 (edited) A coupling on an intake pipe in the Rio David which feeds various David neighbourhoods flew apart and an under-equipped (highly skilled?) crew from IDAAN has been working on getting it back together all day.They finally got some real help.Meantime tank trucks with potable water were circulating all day in the affected neighbourhoods.

Brundageba Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 I can't help but get the queezies looking at that chain and the proximity to those men there in the river. It pops and it can really fly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcelyn Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 That chain in relationship to the men working on repairs is scary! I've witnessed many instances where Panamans work in a dangerous situation using little or no safety equipment. I admire them but worry at the same time.Thanks, Keith for these photos. Your contributions to CL are always appreciated. Where else could we find this timely information! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Woolford Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 (edited) As of half an hour ago, the work was completed and the line is now being tested.The Governor showed up for the 'supervision photo op' and someone provided a few life preservers.

JoJo Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Where in David? We have water in El Terranol.I guess I didn't realize we didn't have water here. We only have a 200 gal reserve tank but with my shower, dishes, toilets being flushed, the gardener cleaning the weed-eater was the last of the water at 3 pm. He didn't get his shower today. But we keep big 1 and 2 gallon jugs of water for necessities and we have 5 gallon water we purchase for the hot/cold machine for drinking and cooking. So doing okay here. Looks like once again Keith came through with all the good information. Thanks Keith. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hil Posted November 8, 2015 Author Share Posted November 8, 2015 No water at this time in David. We'll see. IDANN might not have given correct information. Might be other problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Woolford Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 SINAPROC says 70% of the affected areas should have service by 7:00 a.m. tomorrow morning. @Sinaproc_Panama: Se espera reestablecer el suministro de agua a las 7:00 am en un 70% de los corregimientos de Las Lomas, David y San CarlosBottled water to be distributed by local governments on the President's tab. @Sinaproc_Panama: La entrega de agua embotellada sera dada para distribuir con los gobiernos locales @JC_Varela emitio la orden de brindar todo el apoyo.#FTCNine trucks tanking around fresh water. @Sinaproc_Panama: Tenemos 9 cisternas trabajando que han distribuido 57,088 litros de agua tomando en cuenta hospitales,comunidades de escasos recursos #FTCThe Ministry of Education announced that classes are suspended tomorrow in those districts. @chiriquinotici1: Oficialmente no hay clases mañana en colegios privados y publicos en David Las Lomas y Pedregal. https://t.co/O9OtiISuAzApparently, today's repairs were unexpected. To the best of my knowledge, the cause for the original shutdown was to perform work at the big plant in Los Algarrobos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Ray Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Water has returned to our area of Terronal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoJo Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 (edited) Water has returned to our area of Terronal.I believe it is here in our area of Terronal as well. We don't have much pressure till the storage tank fills, but it's doing that now. Whew! We aren't used to it here. Maybe once a year or so.

Hil Posted November 9, 2015 Author Share Posted November 9, 2015 Water Restore to my condo sometime during the night. I would like to thank the workers skilled or unskilled and the politicians I talked to on the phone for showing up and correcting the problem. I take issue with desparaging remarks about the workers and the politicians that showed up and worked and sweated while I was under my A/C and in Boquete. So, I have practiced using the ignore button. These insults have followed us to this website sadly.Thanks Bud for incorporating this feature. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hil Posted November 9, 2015 Author Share Posted November 9, 2015 It is tough following rules. Some of us need a reminder at times. Even me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
