He also launched the “Tu Medidor” Plan and the adherence to the municipal tax moratorium that begins this Friday, May 10.
During this Thursday morning, a press conference was held at the office of the comptroller of the Decentralized Sanitary Works Entity (EDOS), where various topics of interest to the community were addressed.
On this occasion, accountant Javier del Cerro, comptroller of the agency, and engineer William Sosa, Operations manager, referred to the adherence to the current municipal tax moratorium, the ordinance for zonal discounts, the remaining works plan for 2024, and the launch of the “Tu Medidor” Plan.
PROJECTS
In this context, Del Cerro reported that “we have presented two very important projects to the Ministry of Planning and Public Works of the Province of Entre Ríos”. The first of these is the recovery and commissioning of the sewage pumping stations. “They are practically abandoned with few exceptions, due to lack of maintenance, and they have also suffered from vandalism; they have been destroyed and items have been stolen,” the official detailed.
It involves optimizing 12 stations located in different sectors of the city. The EDOS comptroller explained that “this work is complementary to a project financed by the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), which is the sewage treatment plant”.
In this case, he reported, “we are talking about an ambitious project,” which will include facilities equipped with a real-time monitoring system seeking to prevent vandalism and also prevent “sewage from ending up on public roads or going into surrounding drains”. The estimated budget for the project amounts to 2 million dollars.
The other important project is the replacement and expansion of the water service through the replacement of piping in five sectors of the city. It is an initiative “that is connected to the new Water Treatment Plant, for which there is great expectation because it will allow us to solve the serious supply problems we have in the summer, adding greater flow and greater pressure,” mentioned Del Cerro. In this case, it is a work with an estimated budget of 2 million 200 thousand dollars.
SITUATION
Engineer Sosa highlighted the importance of the works, as he pointed out that currently in Concordia “we have 15 sewage pumping stations but only two are in optimal operating conditions”.
Regarding the second project, he highlighted that the goal is to renew and optimize 6000 meters of piping.
“TU MEDIDOR”
Regarding the “Tu Medidor” plan, accountant Del Cerro highlighted that it is an initiative aimed at providing financing to people with lower incomes.
It includes retirees, pensioners, “and those residents with a socioeconomic situation that does not allow them to hire a registered plumber,” he pointed out.
MORATORIUM
Finally, EDOS authorities confirmed that technical arrangements are being finalized to unify and streamline the necessary procedures with Revenue personnel to ensure that taxpayers who join the current moratorium can also do so with outstanding bills from the Decentralized Sanitary Works Entity (EDOS).
“The idea is to make things easier for the resident, so that everything can be done at the Revenue office, without them having to come to our facilities,” they highlighted.
