The Municipality of Concordia, through the Decentralized Sanitary Works Entity (EDOS), is carrying out the replacement of drinking water and sewage networks prior to street paving, which is fundamental as it avoids breaking the new asphalt, optimizes service pressure, and prevents early subsidence or leaks.
This translates into giving a longer useful life to the new asphalt layer because it prevents future costly breakages in finished roadways. The work was concentrated on La Pampa Street, between Presidente Illia and Dr. Sauré, within the framework of the Infrastructure and Development Plan towards the Bicentennial.
Mayor Francisco Azcué highlighted the importance of carrying out all necessary infrastructure works beforehand to ensure quality and durability: “this sector is included in the street paving and repaving plan carried out by the Municipality, where the replacement of pipes is fundamental. These are complementary works that take time, represent a significant investment, and are carried out with our own resources”.
In that line, he made it clear that “it would be irresponsible to pave without carrying out this replacement of valves and extensions of the drinking water and sewage network because it would cost the Municipality more resources to have to break the street again”.
Likewise, Azcué thanked the residents for their support in this process and their patience in waiting for so long: “they know that these works improve the neighborhood's infrastructure, the quality of life, and generate a benefit for the entire city”.
Finally, the mayor recalled that this is one of the stages of the Infrastructure and Development Plan towards the Bicentennial, which includes 37 blocks, adding that a second instance has already been awarded; that paving with cobblestones is about to begin, for which the Municipal Plant is in full production, and that in a few days the bidding for the new Asphalt Plant that will operate in the Industrial Park will open.
For his part, the Secretary of Public Works, Fernando Esquibel, explained that the objective is to execute complete interventions that contemplate both visible infrastructure and that which remains below the surface.
“We want to convey to the residents of Concordia that they can have the peace of mind that these are comprehensive works, that when the asphalt is finished, underneath there will be the extensions of the drinking water network, new pipes and valves, as well as renewed sewers,” to which he added the curbs that “guarantee the durability of the pavement. Everything is thought out and designed to obtain a correct and lasting result over time,” highlighted Esquibel.
