Cuba: Let them drink ... hmmm

HAVANA, June 17 (Moisés Leonardo Rodríguez Valdés, Grupo Decoro - www.cubanet.org) - Residents of La Cotilla neighborhood, in the San José de las Lajas municipality outside the city of Havana, haven't had municipal water service in more than a month.

Government authorities say the lack of fuel is the reason they can't supply water.

Residents Luis and Miriam Gorrín approached the director of municipal services to ask that a tanker-truck be provided for the neighbors, but the official said they could have it if they provided the necessary diesel fuel.
