en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Ministry of Housing, Construction and Sanitation (MVCS) of Peru is advancing the construction of the Comprehensive Drinking Water and Sewage System Project (PIAA Juliaca) in Juliaca, which will benefit over 370,000 residents in the Puno region upon full completion. Currently, the second phase of construction covers nine communities, including Cincuentenario Cancollani, Santa Catalina, San Pablo, San Paulino, Santa Asunción, Los Girasoles, Santa Ana, Taparachi, and Horacio Gómez, involving excavation, pipe laying, and backfill compaction.
The second phase plans to install over 25,000 household drinking water connections, more than 4 kilometers of intake pipes, 2.4 kilometers of main networks, and 94 kilometers of secondary networks, while also constructing and optimizing a drinking water reservoir. For the sewage network, 6,359 connections, 6 kilometers of main pipelines, 26 kilometers of secondary main pipelines, and the renovation of 35 kilometers of secondary pipelines will be implemented. The project aims to reduce disease risks and bring greater well-being, safety, and development opportunities to beneficiary families.
Regarding progress in the third phase, the MVCS team held meetings with representatives from the municipalities of San Román, San Miguel, and Cabanillas, as well as community leaders from the nine major impact areas of the project. The meetings reported that topographic surveys related to the water intake and Drinking Water Treatment Plant (PTAP) have been completed, and progress on the water transmission pipeline-related works has reached 56%. This phase involves an investment of 513.8 million soles, executed by the Consorcio San Miguel, a joint venture between Hidalgo e Hidalgo S.A. and the Peru-Ecuador joint venture Construcción y Administración S.A.
The Comprehensive Drinking Water and Sewage System Project (PIAA Juliaca) is implemented by the National Urban Sanitation Program (PNSU) and financed through a loan from the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), with a total investment of 1.706 billion soles. Upon completion of the four main phases, the Juliaca and San Miguel areas will gain access to drinking water services and a reliable sewage system, thereby strengthening social and economic growth in the region.
