– The mayor of Bogotá recommends showers for two
The capital is suffering from the worst drought in forty years. The government regularly cuts off water to 9 million residents. It’s time to save money.

Showering in pairs and not at all on Sundays, this is how Mayor Carlos Fernando Galán wants to save water.

In Bogotá, at the moment, we don’t know whether to laugh or cry about the situation. The mayor, Carlos Fernando Galán, has given instructions on personal hygiene that may seem disconcerting. Anyone who doesn’t leave the house on Sunday can forgo taking a shower in the morning. According to him, a shower on Monday is enough. No one should stay in the shower for more than five minutes anyway. And if you live as a couple, you can take a shower together. Of course, it’s only to save water, as the liberal mayor mischievously added on Colombian television.
