The leaks in the Jarillón Cara de Gato work, completed in February, increased the water levels in the pipes and swamps. On May 6, the Jarillón ruptured again, followed by the Jarillón Los Arrastres rupture on May 8. These breaks, together with the rainy season, have affected 38,854 people (12,995 families) in the communities of San Jacinto del Cauca (Bolívar), Guaranda, Sucre, Majagual, San Benito Abad, San Marcos, Caimito (Sucre) and Ayapel (Cordova). |
