en.Wedoany.com Reported - Recently, the Taipichaca Earth Dam project of the La Paz Water Supply Project in Bolivia, constructed by PowerChina, was successfully completed. President Rodrigo Paz attended the handover ceremony and delivered a speech. This project will significantly improve the current water supply situation for surrounding residents and alleviate the regional water shortage problem. In his speech, President Rodrigo Paz highly commended the outstanding contributions of all Chinese and foreign builders involved in the project. He stated that PowerChina has deeply cultivated the Bolivian infrastructure market, delivering a batch of high-quality livelihood projects benefiting grassroots communities, effectively boosting local economic development and continuously improving people's production and living conditions. He looks forward to the continued deepening of practical cooperation between Bolivia and China in the field of infrastructure, working together to create more mutually beneficial livelihood projects.

The La Paz Water Supply Project in Bolivia is located in the three urban districts of Batallas, Pucarani, and El Alto in the La Paz Department of Bolivia. PowerChina's Sinohydro Bureau 4 Co., Ltd. is responsible for constructing the Godyagota concrete gravity dam, repairing and expanding the Taipichaca earth dam, building the Mijuni Bach drinking water treatment plant, and the ductile iron pipe diversion works from the two dams to the drinking water treatment plant.

Once the Taipichaca Earth Dam is operational, it will effectively ensure the production and domestic water supply for surrounding towns and the La Paz urban area, alleviating the regional water shortage problem, and becoming a landmark achievement in China-Bolivia livelihood infrastructure cooperation.

Since entering the Bolivian market, PowerChina has undertaken livelihood projects such as the El Sillar Highway Project, the Padilla-El Sillar Highway Project, and the Ivirizu Hydropower Station Project, laying a solid foundation for promoting Bolivia's economic and social development and strengthening friendly cooperation between the two countries in the infrastructure sector.
