The government of President Nayib Bukele continues to promote projects that guarantee access to quality basic services for salvadoran families. This monday, a modern drinking water system was inaugurated at the pumping station in California, Usulután, with an investment of US$1.2 million, directly benefiting the residents of the area.
The project, carried out by the Administración Nacional de Acueductos y Alcantarillados (ANDA), is part of the national program for drilling and equipping deep wells, whose objective is to expand drinking water coverage in communities that have historically lacked the service.
According to ANDA President Dagoberto Arévalo, the project included drilling a well, constructing a cistern, two booster pumps, a control building with a chlorination system, as well as providing electricity and a three-kilometer pipeline that connects the station to the storage tank in California.
“With this project, we are ensuring that families have an independent, reliable, and sustainable water system. Our commitment is to continue working so that every salvadoran has access to quality water”, Arévalo said.
The president of the Autoridad Salvadoreña del Agua (ASA), Ethel Cabrera, emphasized that the project reflects the result of coordinated work among state institutions. “These actions demonstrate that, through joint effort, the right to water and sanitation promoted by President Bukele can be realized”, she said.

Before this project, the California district was supplied by a system shared with the districts of Berlín, Alegría, Santiago de María, and Tecapán. With the inauguration of the new system, the community will now have an independent, efficient, and sustainable water supply, strengthen local development and improving the quality of life for its residents.
This investment reaffirms the Salvadoran government’s vision of providing sustainable solutions and promoting the well-being of rural and urban communities through modern and efficient infrastructure.
