Asuncion, IP Agency.- At the end of July, the Paraguayan Sanitation Services Company (ESSAP SA) has a positive balance of the actions developed during the intensive service cut and reconnection plan, which will allow for a significant investment in the cities of Villa Hayes and Nanawa, without neglecting the entire Metropolitan Area, reported its head, Luis Fernando Bernal.
He explained that the statistical data collected shows a significant increase in commercial management actions, resulting in a considerable increase in cuts due to non-payment which, to date, is equal to 180% based on the previous average, resulting in a collection of 22% higher than in July 2023. This is about G. 51,160,693,507.
In this context, the water company is launching a bidding calendar for the construction of a 1,702 m3 metal tank, a pumping station and pipes to connect the plant to the water network as a Paraguayan counterpart within the project to donate the construction of the Potable Water Plant for Villa Hayes, by the Government of Japan, with an investment amount of USD 20 million.
