Once the blockage was resolved, the Essmar technical team identified that the existing collector was in poor condition, which could have been the underlying cause of the blockage. Therefore, the replacement of 60 meters of 16-inch sewer pipe was carried out at the aforementioned intersection, guaranteeing a better infrastructure for more than 3,600 inhabitants of the neighborhoods: Porvenir, Malvinas and Avenida del Río.
It is worth mentioning that the next step corresponds to the reconstruction of the plate to leave the work 100%. The repair and replacement of this collector is a testimony of Essmar’s commitment to add to the improvement of public services and prompt attention to contingencies.
