Given the water crisis presented at the Masvernat Hospital in our city, the Municipality of Concordia and the Decentralized Entity of Sanitary Works (EDOS) sent tanker trucks, of 10,000 liters each, to supply the water tanks. The supply tasks are carried out in conjunction with the Volunteer Firefighters.
Regarding the situation presented at the hospital, EDOS points out that the institution's network has several structural problems due to the lack of maintenance and works by the previous provincial administration.
Among them, the following can be mentioned:
The water supply pipe was obstructed with plastics and pieces of tile from the site.
The pipes need maintenance and replacement in some cases.
Mainly, the current problem lies in the fact that the previously installed booster pump, which also fails to comply with the regulation establishing that it is an unauthorized practice, has broken down.
Said pump performed the function of raising water to the cistern installed on the roof of the hospital.
The water treatment plant is at maximum production during the season of highest consumption. Even so, the water flow is not sufficient to reach the elevated cistern.
Given this situation, the hospital is assisted by filling the cistern with water trucks in conjunction with the Volunteer Firefighters.
EDOS also remarks that the problem is compounded by a deteriorated network and a city that has grown exponentially with constructions, increasing consumption in some cases, with clandestine connections and without the work of a professional on them.
Today the solution is to install the hospital's cistern at ground level, where it will always have a constant flow, and add to that in the future, if viable, an exclusive borehole for the institution.
Finally, it is reported that there is currently a significant debt corresponding to the previous provincial administration.
