The Mayor of Concordia was in the Sarmiento neighborhood where EDOS is carrying out work for the recovery of a borehole. “It is important to listen to the residents, they are the ones who have been suffering from the water problem for years, but we want to convey peace of mind, we are taking care of it,” he stated.
Following the Declaration of the Water Emergency and the implementation of the Water Contingency Plan by the Municipality of Concordia and the Decentralized Entity of Sanitary Works (EDOS), several actions are being executed simultaneously with the aim of providing responses to the sectors of the community that, after years of lack of investment and foresight, suffer from a shortage of drinking water.
While the drilling that will supply 10,000 liters of water per hour to the Masvernat Hospital progresses, work has been and is being done on the recovery of other boreholes that have been abandoned for years.
One of them is located in the Sarmiento neighborhood, where Mayor Francisco Azcué was present, talking with the residents. “We are in an emergency situation, which is why we decided to implement this plan where many resources are being invested. Not all neighborhoods have the same problem, but in each one, an approach is being taken according to the needs.”
After emphasizing the work of all EDOS personnel, “who do it with vocation and great commitment,” Azcué highlighted the importance of having a presence in the field and talking with the residents: “This is fundamental because we come, we meet with them, we listen to them because they are the true protagonists, they know the problem because they live here and they have been suffering from it for a long time, and we understand that it is a priority for them as it is for us.”
“We want to convey peace of mind, that we are taking care of it, that we are working and thinking about definitive solutions that solve the problem so that we do not have to be applying patches all the time,” stated Azcué.
Following that line, the Mayor of Concordia emphasized that we all have to collaborate with actions that benefit the community, such as not wasting water or not throwing waste into the sewage system. “This is another problem that EDOS encounters, that often the sewers get clogged and when they go to carry out the work, they find different waste that causes significant damage to the networks, which is why we ask that they be responsible and, on our part, allocate resources to improve the situation.”
Finally, he remarked that “when we talk about taking care of resources, about eliminating unnecessary expenses, it is to invest them in public policies like these, reaching where there is no infrastructure, establishing priorities, convinced that we are going to overcome this situation.”
