Friday morning, several dozen of residents of the Playa Laguna Sosúa neighborhood took to the streets to loudly express their dissatisfaction about the lack of tap water.
For several months the neighborhood, situated next to the Sea Horse Ranch complex, has been deprived of tap water.
Despite promises made by the management of the water company CORAAPPLATA, to solve the problem in the short term, still nothing happened to solve the problem.
The residents including many housewives, shouted that they are tired and desperate by the months-long absence from tap water.

Most of them are very poor people who are forced now to search for water far away to take it to their homes.
After an hour demonstrating some officers of the National Police arrived and admonished the protesters with some coercion to go home again.
