Mayor Francisco Azcué was present at noon today at the site where a new break in a drinking water pipe occurred, a situation that affected a sector of the population.
First of all, "I want to highlight the commitment of the staff of the Decentralized Entity of Sanitary Works (EDOS), who worked on Wednesday and Thursday on the repair of the main pipe near the access to Parque San Carlos, and this Friday, in the vicinity of the Monument to the Woman, because there were workers who were not on duty and came anyway".
Next, Azcué remarked that these situations occur because in recent years there was a total lack of maintenance of the drinking water network, particularly of the sluice valves.
"If things had been done as they should have been, in the face of every situation that arises, the effects would not be so detrimental to our community".
Azcué stated that "residents should know that due to the lack of maintenance of the sluice valves, between Wednesday and Thursday the Water Treatment Plant had to be stopped to fix the main pipe. If this had been done in previous years, the valves would have been closed, the Plant would not have been stopped, work would have been carried out, and the city would not have been left without water because the outage would have been sectorized. This could not be done and the city suffered the consequences".
NEW BREAK
Regarding the situation this Friday, at the intersection of Belgrano, Gerardo Yoya, and Salto Uruguayo avenues, the Mayor indicated that it is precisely a consequence of what happened the previous day.
"When the main pipe is fixed and the service begins to normalize, there are sectors of the drinking water network, like this one, that did not withstand the pressure even though it was regulated, and unfortunately these types of breaks will continue to happen because when they should have done things right, they did not," he reiterated.
Finally, Azcué stressed that "from our administration, when we talk about order and planning, it has to do precisely with doing things well and neatly, even if it takes time. It is the only way to get Concordia out of the place where they left it".
WORKS COMPLETED
On the other hand, in the early afternoon, the work by EDOS was finished.
It was a smaller diameter pipe, so it was not necessary to stop the Water Treatment Plant. The service in the affected areas will gradually normalize over the coming hours.
It should be noted that in the situations presented in recent days, there was joint work between EDOS, the Traffic Directorate, Electrotechnics, and the Municipal Warehouse.
