Inoperability of treatment plants generates health crisis

The inoperability of wastewater treatment plants has resulted in a sanitation crisis affecting residents who invested in residential housing to achieve dignified living conditions. Specifically, couples such as Carla and José Manuel bought apartments using bank loans, only to encounter severe environmental and public health challenges stemming from the failing infrastructure.

This crisis highlights systemic issues in waste and water management infrastructure within residential areas in the Dominican Republic. The failure of these treatment facilities directly impacts the quality of life for homeowners, transforming what was intended to be a secure investment into a hazardous living environment.
