So there’s no possible way, everybody is going to get water, right. So this way, people are wasting, like two or three hours on a daily basis, just to get their water tanks filled, they have to call (water) tankers, they have to maintain suction pumps, so that they can get the water from the supply lines because pressure is not being maintained by the supplier side. So that’s how it creates a huge inequity in the distribution areas.”
