The president of AdS stressed that the size of the city and the complexity of the water sectors may delay the perception of normalization by residents, but he assured that the company is committed to resolving the problem quickly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have a contingency plan that equitably reduces water distribution. There is no discrimination between neighborhoods; our priority is to mitigate the effects of this lack of water,\u201d he said. He also added that any specific problems in buildings or residences due to insufficient pressure are being resolved by the company\u2019s technical team. Nilton Duarte highlighted EDEC\u2019s investments in the water efficiency program as fundamental to addressing the situation with less impact. \u201cThese investments have made it easier to manage the contingency situation, something that would have been much more complicated without these measures,\u201d he emphasized. Finally, Nilton Duarte asked the public for their understanding of the inconvenience and reinforced A\u0301guas de Santiago\u2019s commitment to resolving the problem as quickly as possible. \u201cWe are working to resolve the problem as soon as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Cape verde<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Cape verde.
