Mayor Enrique Cresto presided over a work meeting together with the Secretary of Urban Development, Mireya Lopez Bernis, and the First Vice President of the Deliberative Council, Claudia Villalba, where a plot of land was granted to the Colonia Adela Potable Water and Other Public Services Provision Cooperative Limited, with the aim of boosting the development of the area.
In this regard, Enrique Rodriguez, treasurer of the Villa Adela Potable Water Cooperative, stated that “it is an important step forward for us because we had been requesting this land for a long time and today, finally, it was donated to us so we can build another well for the Las Tejas neighborhood area, since we only had one. In that sense, we are very happy with the response we have been given and the help to provide a better service”.
“We have 3 tanks, two wells in the Comercio neighborhood and 3 in Villa Adela, which is a neighborhood that grows more every day; there are new members every day, so the goal is to provide a good service that is continuous and that there is no lack of water. In addition, summer is coming and it is a time when people consume a lot of water, so we must reinforce and continue expanding the service, not because we were falling short, but we believe that the construction of another well is necessary,” explained Rodriguez.
MORE SERVICES AND BETTER QUALITY OF LIFE
The municipal administration expanded access to potable water and other essential public services during the last few years. Hundreds of families were incorporated into the potable water and sewage systems, reaching nearly 95% coverage. The Roca Complex and 36 semi-artesian wells distributed throughout the city were added to the water system at the “San Carlos” Plant, while the construction of the new Potable Water Plant progresses.
Among the works carried out in conjunction with ENOHSA is the drilling and expansion of the potable water distribution network in the San Pantaleón neighborhood, the expansion of the distribution network in the Cipo neighborhood, and the renovation of obsolete water and sewage networks and household connections in different paving programs executed by the Municipality.
This represents an intervention area of 25 hectares, with 11,856 linear meters executed. Simultaneously, more than 50 smaller-scale works were developed throughout the municipal territory. The EDOS has a pipeline layout of more than 522 kilometers of water distribution networks between the primary pumping pipelines and the household distribution lines.
