During this Monday morning, the mayor Francisco Azcué was touring the area where the cleaning operation of the places affected by the rise of the Uruguay River began, thanks to the significant drop in water levels that has been occurring over the last few hours.
“Since very early, we have been touring the sectors where the cleaning work is being carried out, with all our resources, so that families can return to their homes as quickly as possible. We know it is a difficult moment due to everything the water causes, but we are here to support them,” stated the mayor Azcué.
Following that line, the Municipal President pointed out that the delivery of cleaning kits for the affected people has already been coordinated, in addition to other actions related to the Secretariat of Health and the Directorate of Electrotechnics, whose personnel also began the verification of pillars so that electrical reconnections can be made.
“The river's descent is coming faster than we expected, and according to what we have been informed by the Hydrology area of Salto Grande, this will continue over the next few days. Although there are forecasts of precipitation for this week, they will not affect the receding water,” he indicated.
Finally, Azcué thanked everyone who has been and is working and collaborating in this emergency situation, from municipal employees, provincial and national agencies and departments, intermediate institutions, Armed and Security Forces, Volunteer Firefighters, as well as individuals who in one way or another have been present throughout these days.
