PASCAL DIAZ/AFP/Getty Images(SANTIAGO, Chile) — At least 4 million people in the Chilean capital of Santiago are without water Monday after rainstorms and landslides have contaminated a major river there, BBC News reports.

Officials say most residents around the city will be without water until the water supply has been cleared up.

Chilean President Michelle Bachelet tweeted Sunday that emergency teams are working to re-establish water supply as soon as possible.

Equipos a cargo de la emergencia trabajan en terreno para conectar personas aisladas y restablecer el suministro de agua apenas sea posible.
