France 2 reports continued service problems in Guadeloupe, where a complete water-network replacement would take 208 years if work continues at today's rate, France's Court of Auditors says.
France 2 put the share of locally produced water that fails to reach households at 70%. The outlet also reported that some residents have endured gaps in water service lasting weeks while repair work proceeds.
Citizens' legal action prompted a judicial investigation in Paris into Guadeloupe's water crisis, France 2 reported. Guadeloupe is a French overseas territory.
