MORE than two million people in the Chilean capital are without drinking water because of contamination in a river that supplies the city with water, officials say.
Water was shut down to more than 593,000 homes in the metropolitan area of Santiago, beginning early Tuesday until at least midnight, forcing the closure of restaurants, offices and playgrounds in areas affected by the cutoff.
"We had an emergency event owing to circumstances beyond our control that forced us to cut water to 15 neighbourhoods," said Cristian Esquivel, spokesman for the Aguas Andinas water utility.
He said a landslide in the Maipo river, the city's main source of water, had fouled the company's water processing plants.
The city has a population of about five million people.
