A. M. A US$100 million investment will be used to comprehensively improve El Salvador’s potable water system, seeking to solve pressure problems and guarantee quality service. ANDA’s president, Jorge Castaneda, announced that these funds will finance the modernization of key infrastructure.
Castaneda visited the Santa Monica and Jardines del Rey residential areas, in Santa Tecla, to verify the problem of low pressure. He explained that the water comes from the T11 tank, fed by the Zona Norte System, which pumps the vital liquid at high altitude after a 40-kilometer journey from wells in Opico.
The situation is aggravated by the manipulation of valves by individuals outside the institution, according to the head of ANDA. To counteract this, controlled valves will be installed and the existing surveillance camera system will be used.
The US$100 million investment will address the replacement of piping systems and pumping equipment. In addition, sectorization, the use of advanced technology, and energy efficiency will be implemented to optimize water distribution.
ANDA will use state-of-the-art technology such as georadar and GNSS equipment to identify pipes in the subsoil, ensuring accurate changes. These actions seek to significantly improve service for residents of Santa Monica and Jardines del Rey, and other areas.
The Government reaffirms its commitment to the population, prioritizing the quality of public services. Actions to address and resolve any deficiencies in the water supply will remain firm.
