Camagüey, Aug 10. – The chairwoman of the Cuban Institute of Water Resources (INRH), Inés María Chapman Wauhg, congratulated all water utility workers and especially those in Camagüey province where the day dedicated to those working in this sector was observed today.

Besides she highlighted that the Cuban State has invested more than 40 million pesos to assess the quality of water for human consumption and ensures a service to over 485,000 people in this province.

Several outstanding workers and founders of this institution were awarded in the course of the ceremony.

When awarded the Jesus Menéndez Medal, inventor and innovator David Carballea said that the nearly 3,000 workers of this sector will continue working to improve the water resources program within the territory.
