Heavy
rain leaves millions without water in Chile
24
April, 2016
Santiago
- Four million people in Santiago were without tap water on Sunday
after unusually heavy rain pounding central Chile triggered
landslides that fouled the city's water supply and forced the closure
of the world's biggest copper mine, officials said.
The
heavy rain flooded parts of the massive El Teniente mine, leading the
state-owned copper company Codelco to halt operations there for at
least three days.
The
mine, located in the foothills of the Andes 150 km south of Santiago,
is being closed to let engineers and crews clean up landslides and
divert streams that have "caused damage" to machinery,
Codelco said late Saturday.
Temporarily
closing El Teniente, which has more than 3 000 km of galleries, will
result in the loss of production of some 5 000 tons of copper, the
company said.
Chile
is the world's top copper producer, producing about one-third of
global output.
In
the capital Santiago, the national emergency response agency declared
a red alert for the city of more than seven million people due to
dirty water.
Heavy
rains in the Andean foothills since Friday triggered landslides into
the Maipo and Mapocho rivers.
Santiago
Mayor Claudio Orrego said late on Saturday that the cuts affect four
million people, one million more than announced hours earlier.
Sold
out
Tap
water production was down to 35 % of normal levels, said Eugenio
Rodriguez, corporate manager of the Aguas Andinas water company.
Municipal
authorities activated an emergency plan that includes accessing 45
backup water sources and mobilizing more than 60 water trucks.
Thousands
on Saturday flocked to stores to stock up on bottled water, and
supermarket shelves were quickly left bare.
In
the O'Higgins region 90 km south of Santiago, the swollen
Tinguiririca River left one person missing and about 100 homes
damaged.
Rain
was expected to continue throughout the weekend, leading Aguas
Andinas to say that "it is not possible yet to estimate the time
that service will be restored."
The
Office of National Emergencies called on residents to ration water,
and collect and save water if possible.
Several
parts of the country continued to reel under scorching heat on Sunday
as mercury hit a high of 46.3 degrees Celsius in Orissa’s Titlagarh
while pre-monsoon showers accompanied by squall and hailstorm created
havoc in Mizoram destroying hundreds of houses.
