This is an investment of 60 million pesos made by the Municipality of Concordia and the Decentralized Sanitary Works Entity. It will provide 10,000 liters per hour. “If we work together, as a team, with efficiency and responsible management of resources, these are the results,” remarked Mayor Azcué.
This Tuesday morning, the borehole that supplies water to the “Delicia Concepción Masvernat” Hospital was enabled, which was executed by the Municipality of Concordia and the Decentralized Sanitary Works Entity (EDOS) through an investment of 60 million pesos within the framework of the Water Contingency Plan.
Mayor Francisco Azcué, together with the hospital director Dr. Mauro Dodorico, authorities from EDOS and the hospital were at the site where the work was carried out, highlighting in principle that this is the result of joint work with the sole objective of carrying out an action that provides a response to a historical demand.
“This is an instruction that Governor Rogelio Frigerio has given us since the beginning of the administration. Here, it is not measured whether it is the responsibility of the Province or the Municipality; the Masvernat hospital attends to and receives patients from the entire region, in addition to those from Concordia, and if we work together, as a team, with efficiency and responsible management of resources, these are the results,” remarked Azcué.
PLAN IN EXECUTION
Regarding the Water Contingency Plan being carried out following the declaration of the Water Emergency, Azcué stated that these are public policies that are being applied according to the needs of each neighborhood or sector of the city.
“In some cases, it has been possible to carry out works that are definitive solutions, because a borehole is recovered, because valves are changed, and in other cases, we are carrying out measures that are palliative in the face of water scarcity this season; we are advancing with a first measure, to later provide a definitive solution.”
In the case of the Masvernat, “we are bringing a definitive solution. It is an investment that required a significant effort on the part of the municipality, but it was a priority and we are very satisfied.”
OWN RESOURCES
Javier Del Cerro, EDOS comptroller, highlighted the fact that the established deadlines were met, as it was a historical demand that needed a response.
“The works were executed with resources from the Municipality and EDOS, investing around 60 million pesos and with Sanitary Works personnel. All the steps were followed that today allow us to make this connection that will supply water to the hospital directly, but indirectly it will bring benefits to the surrounding neighborhoods since the distribution will no longer be affected by the hospital's consumption,” indicated Del Cerro.
VITAL WORK
For his part, Dr. Mauro Dodorico maintained that “for the hospital, this work is vital. We have spent years in situations where, despite planning, we often had to redistribute internal activities without forgetting that we are dealing with patients.”
In that sense, he added that having “a secure supply in the summer months gives us the peace of mind to assist those who need the hospital's care,” for which he thanked the priority given to the situation as well as the Municipality of Concordia and the Volunteer Firefighters who have been permanently collaborating during the most complex moments.
Finally, Williams Sosa, EDOS Operations Manager, explained that once the borehole was made, physical-chemical, microbiological, heavy metal, pesticide, herbicide, and hydrocarbon profile studies were carried out, the results of which were all optimal for consumption in accordance with what is established by the Argentine Food Code.
Present on behalf of the Masvernat hospital were Technical Secretaries Dr. Sebastián San Miguel, Bioengineer Alejandro Ferrando, and Deputy Director Dr. Eduardo Bepre; councilwoman Verónica Del Boca, and authorities and workers of EDOS.
