The Decentralized Sanitary Works Entity (EDOS) reminds the community that due to maintenance work on one of the transformers, the drinking water supply will be affected this coming Sunday, July 21, as the production capacity of the Water Treatment Plant will be reduced.
The tasks will be carried out on Transformer 2, which will be disconnected at 8 a.m. and reconnected around 10 p.m. on the same day. For this reason, the Plant's production capacity will be reduced to 32%.
It is expected that the restoration of the water supply in the city will occur on the evening of Monday, July 22, so citizens are advised to make responsible use of the resource.
In this regard, EDOS guarantees the water supply to the Delicia Concepción Masvernat Hospital so that the care provided by said medical facility is not affected.
WORK TO BE PERFORMED
The Water Treatment Plant operates with two medium-voltage transformers manufactured by Miron S.A.I.CI.F.A. The first one from 1985 and the second from 1971, with 53 years of continuous operation. In 2017, a study of the dielectric oil of both transformers recommended their replacement due to deterioration.
The maintenance will be carried out by the firm Los Conce S.A.I.M.C.I.y F, in coordination with the Cooperativa Eléctrica de Concordia, which will provide a 1000 kVA transformer in case of any eventuality. Likewise, the Directorate of Road Works and Maintenance of the Municipality has conditioned the roads to receive heavy traffic.
Furthermore, taking advantage of the reduction in production, maintenance tasks that cannot normally be performed will be carried out, including the cleaning of feed channels to the B purification module and the repair of water leaks in the hydrants of the B module washing circuit.
These actions are part of the normalization measures implemented by the current administration in the Entity, in collaboration with the Municipality of Concordia, with the aim of improving the processes involved and guaranteeing an optimal service to the community.
