La calidad del Agua en Coello: Una Crisis Silenciosa

However, in Colombia, many municipalities do not have a potable and efficient water service, violating this right. One of these municipalities is Coello, located in the department of Tolima. The municipality has an aqueduct and sewage company, Espucoello, but the population affirm that the water is not drinkable and that it comes with waste; the service tends to be inconsistent and this affects the population in various ways. When inquiring about the problem, the mayor's office and Espucoello do not provide adequate information, but say that the service provided is adequate and complies with health condition
