With this work, it contributesn 21,000 liters of water per hour to the distribution network of this sector of the city. “We are working in specific neighborhoods that have historically had supply problems, due to a lack of foresight or maintenance of the networks,” stated Javier Del Cerro, auditor of EDOS.
Following the declaration of the Water Emergency, Mayor Francisco Azcué ordered the Municipality of Concordia and the Decentralized Entity of Sanitary Works (EDOS) to carry out a Water Contingency Plan with the objective of alleviating the shortages that some neighborhoods of the city have been suffering for decades.
As the weeks have passed and the work has been carried out, a lack of foresight or maintenance of the networks has been detected in many of the sectors during all these previous years.
There are various actions that have already been executed and those that are in the pipeline. One of them was the reactivation of a borehole that had been in disuse for more than a decade in the Pierrestegui neighborhood.
This past Friday, with resources and labor from the Municipality and EDOS, the problem was solved.
Javier Del Cerro, auditor of EDOS, remarked that “we have been recovering several boreholes. In this case, in the Pierrestegui neighborhood, it had been deactivated for more than 10 years and as of today, it adds 21,000 liters of water per hour to the distribution network of this sector.”
A PLAN UNDERWAY AND WITH RESULTS
In that sense, he recalled that similar work was done in the Víctor Oppel, contributing 4,200 liters per hour; in the Sarmiento neighborhood with 16,000 liters per hour; in the Don Jorge neighborhood, with 9,000 liters and the borehole located at Diamante and Los Tilos streets, with 21,600 liters per hour.
“This is very important because it greatly relieves these neighborhoods that normally at this time, with the drop in pressure due to high consumption, suffer from a lack of water. This is possible thanks to the Contingency Plan which includes other actions such as the placement of 10,000-liter water tanks in sectors where the network does not reach directly,” pointed out Del Cerro.
Finally, he highlighted the work and commitment of all the EDOS personnel who have been working tirelessly to provide answers to the population. “We are satisfied with how this plan is being carried out and we will continue working to respond to the different demands.”
