Canal Calicanto: realizan inspección ante alerta de posibles vertimientos
Luego de que la comunidad del barrio Nuevo Paraíso alertara de posibles vertimientos al Canal Calicanto y de afectaciones a la fauna y flora del sector, la empresa Aguas de Cartagena se desplazó al sitio, ante el llamado hecho por los vecinos.
TL;DR
- Aguas de Cartagena visited Canal Calicanto following community alerts about possible pollution.
- A change in the water's coloration was detected.
- The company determined the discoloration is likely due to runoff from nearby construction, not sewage discharge.
- The local environmental authority, EPA, is aware and will conduct its own visit.
- Community leaders report a decline in local wildlife, such as fish and herons, due to the water's condition.
