Promoted by Mayor Francisco Azcué, the Municipality of Concordia and the Decentralized Entity of Sanitary Works continue with the Water Emergency Plan, which aims to provide responses to years of disinvestment and maintenance of the drinking water network, which causes shortages due to high consumption from the heat wave affecting the city.
There are already 3 boreholes that have been recovered in recent days, benefiting residents of the Los Pájaros and Sarmiento neighborhoods and in the vicinity of Diamante and Los Tilos streets. The latter had been out of service for more than 4 years.
William Sosa, Operations Manager of EDOS, remarked that the borehole at Diamante and Los Tilos streets has the capacity to produce a flow of 21,600 liters of water per hour. “It had been out of operation for more than 4 years and today, through the Water Contingency Plan, it was possible to recover it and thus provide responses to the demands of this sector of the city.”
So far during the Water Emergency, “with this one, there are now three recovered boreholes: one in the Sarmiento neighborhood and another in Los Pájaros, which had also been out of service for several years in a sector where water scarcity is noticeable. In this case, to optimize its performance, we installed a new 7.5 HP electric pump, which allows reaching a flow of 25,000 liters per hour.”
MORE BOREHOLES ON THE AGENDA
In addition to the aforementioned works, Sosa announced that the recovery of other boreholes is already part of the Water Contingency Plan. “There are two more in the Sarmiento neighborhood, which we will soon be working on to see if they can be put into condition, and one more in the Pierrestegui neighborhood, which has also been out of service for many years.”
“We continue with actions that allow us to bring solutions to residents where they effectively lack water. These are measures that have not been carried out for many years and that is why it is sometimes difficult to guarantee a quality service, but know that we are working for it,” highlighted the Operations Manager of EDOS.
DISTRIBUTION OF DRINKING WATER TANKS
On the other hand, Sosa indicated that in addition to the work on the boreholes, they are receiving water tanks with a storage capacity of 10,000 liters.
“This is a job that we carry out jointly with the Secretariat of Human Development to be delivered in strategic places where they currently do not have the possibility of having a reserve because the existing network is not enough to supply the households,” he explained.
Finally, Sosa stated the importance of having this Water Emergency Plan since it allows for the development of public policies with efficient management of resources and, most importantly, “to be up to the demands of the people of Concordia.”
