Within the framework of the Water Contingency Plan, the Municipality of Concordia and the Decentralized Entity of Sanitary Works (EDOS) continue to redouble their efforts to provide responses to residents, implementing actions in the different neighborhoods of Concordia.
Some of these works include improving service conditions in peripheral sectors, completing secondary pipeline connections and valve replacements, thereby improving the distribution of flow rates and pressures in these sectors.
After identifying the most critical points and following exhaustive planning, at the initiative of Mayor Francisco Azcué, EDOS, with the support of the Municipality, is implementing the plan in the neighborhoods to bring solutions through different mechanisms.
One of these works is currently being executed in the La Bianca neighborhood.
Hydraulic Engineer Joaquín Gobetto, an EDOS technician, explained that the works consist of reducing the distribution circuit for the 126 Viviendas sector, going from 2 kilometers to about 200 meters, “which will favor the supply of drinking water.”
Due to the lack of maintenance of the network and fundamentally of the valves, there are places in the La Bianca neighborhood that have good pressure, since water arrives both from the Water Treatment Plant and from the borehole known as Complejo Roca, but in others it does not.
“This can cause there to be good pressure two or three blocks from where we are working, and not in other sectors. The state in which we are finding the valves, which have not had maintenance, means that the different flow rates cannot be regulated and cause this difference, bringing consequences for the residents,” pointed out Gobetto.
This work of reducing the distribution circuit, plus the fine-tuning of the valves, will help this neighborhood of the city to have a better service.
