EcuaVisa (Canal 8 in Quito) carried a fairly long piece this morning at 09h00 regarding increasingly serious water shortages in Montanita, and growing problems in managing of sewage waste water (aguas servidos/aguas negros) in the same community. There was reference to declaration of a water emergency (implications of the declaration not further explained) for the entire Province of Santa Elena.
There was an implicit warning to tourists to stay away from Montanita over the Holy Week holidays. Finally, there'll be another EcuaVisa installment on Montanita water issues tomorrow at 09h00.
OH, you might have more info on all of this from your (closer) perspective down there, particularly as regards to declaration of the water emergency for Sta. Elena Province....
