This Tuesday, Empresas Públicas de Medellín (EPM) announced that next weekend there will be no drinking water in the north of the Aburrá Valley. According to the company, this interruption in the aqueduct service is due to a series of technical work at the Manantiales Water Treatment Plant and the network of this supply system.
