The Finance Committee of the Legislative Assembly issued a favorable opinion authorizing the Government to sign a US$185 million loan with the Central American Bank for Economic Integration (CABEI). These funds will be used to improve the Guluchapa drinking water system in the Área Metropolitana de San Salvador (AMSS). The initiative will be sent to the full legislature, where the representatives will decide whether to approve the financing.
The loan will allow for the execution of the Proyecto para el Mejoramiento del Sistema de Agua Potable Guluchapa, which will be managed by the Administración Nacional de Acueductos y Alcantarillados (ANDA). According to authorities, the investment aims to strengthen the water infrastructure and improve the continuity of service for thousands of families.
During the review of the initiative, Delia Reyes, deputy director of Public Investment and Credit at the Ministry of Finance, explained that the Guluchapa system supplies drinking water to urban areas in the districts of Ilopango, Soyapango, Santo Tomás, Santiago Texacuangos, San Martín, and San Marcos, in the department of San Salvador, as well as to San Francisco Chinameca and Olocuilta, in La Paz.
The official indicated that the project’s main objective is to optimize the drinking water supply for the residents of these communities through a series of works that will strengthen the system’s operational capacity.
The planned interventions include the rehabilitation of pumping stations, the construction of new storage tanks, the drilling of wells, and the maintenance of existing infrastructure, especially in the district of Ilopango.
After receiving unanimous support from the Finance Committee, the proposal will be added to the agenda of an upcoming plenary session of the Legislative Assembly, where the representatives will make the final decision on approving or rejecting the US$185 million loan agreement.
