Nuevitas, Camagüey, April 17.- In the municipality of Nuevitas, progress is being made in improving the hydraulic infrastructure to optimize the supply of water to both residents and industries, facing the current challenges in the distribution of the vital liquid through the aqueduct network. .
Inés María Chapman Waugh, Deputy Prime Minister, together with the president of the National Institute of Hydraulic Resources, Engineer Antonio Rodríguez Rodríguez, visited the area to verify the improvements implemented and establish priorities.
At the Saramaguacán pumping station, Chapman, who is also a member of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba, evaluated the condition of the machinery, whose performance is affected by its advanced wear and obsolescence.
The government delegation also inspected the local water treatment plant, with a processing capacity of approximately 300 liters of water per second.
During the visit, there was a discussion with sector experts about the repair and maintenance work carried out as part of the investment program.
In the midst of a challenging economic context Chapman stressed the importance of repairing or replacing pumping equipment, exploring alternatives both within and outside the province and emphasized the need to identify the causes of frequent breakdowns.
With the new investment cycle, the Nuevitas water treatment plant will incorporate a second filtration module and rehabilitate the elevated tank, which will contribute to increasing the pressure in the distribution network.
