COLOMBIA: Much Of Medellin Without Water... For 10 Days!

C.REPORTS/

    Since Good Friday...that's 10 days and counting...many parts of Medellin have lacked running water...after a landslide destroyed the water supply network.
     "They are selling water, but I have not seen one tank car here," said a resident of the Carpinelo neighborhood. "Supposedly we'll have water again on Tuesday," she said.
   Residents of poor neighborhoods say they have been forced to get water from creeks or stagnant ponds.
