The line on Rodolfo Garza Cantú Avenue was generated before and after noon.Long lines were registered yesterday at various businesses in Reynosa where plastic drums are sold, due to the interest of citizens in obtaining a container to collect water and thus cope with the mega cut of up to 48 hours announced by municipal authorities.On Rodolfo Garza Cantú Avenue, shortly after noon, up to a dozen vehicles were seen waiting their turn.The cost was more than 600 pesos for a 200-liter container."We have not been able to buy a water tank to install it in the house, it is very expensive, that's why when we found out that they were going to cut off the water, we gathered the money for this drum, hopefully it will last us two days, which is the term that the authorities gave" commented Rafael, a resident of the Juarez neighborhood.“We are trying to prevent ourselves with a drum to collect some water, we come from the Balcones de Alcalá neighborhood, we are going to use the water for the most essential, the bathroom, washing some things and hygiene, we have to use it intelligently so that last”, commented Juan García.The purchases were fast and at times the drums were exhausted.In another neighborhood like La Laguna, there were also lines outside businesses where dairy farms were sold.“We have asked customers to wait to deliver them, they are bringing them from another branch, we have had a lot of people since we opened at 9 in the morning, they all take it to collect water,” said Laura, a saleswoman.The panic of running out of water led some to buy two and even three containers.Also when taking into account that in some sectors the water supply began to be scarce since Tuesday night.“In the house we are 7 people, three of them children who go to summer classes right now, but since Tuesday we had no water, so we are going to buy two drums to fill them as much as we can with my mother-in-law and take them home. , because we don't know if they're going to send us pipes either,” said Eugenio, a resident of the Almaguer neighborhood.DR © Editora DEMAR SA de CVMatías Canales Street 504 Col.
