The work, which presents an investment of $36,973,504.78, will seek to increase the production of drinking water by 15 million gallons per day and benefit more than 150,000 inhabitants of the district of Panama, according to the National Aqueduct and Sewer Institute (IDAAN).

IDAAN reported that the expansion being carried out next to the existing facilities consists of the construction of a new module for the purification of the water and process sludge treatment system, which aims to guarantee an uninterrupted supply to the population.

He stressed that the next activities to be carried out will be the installation of flanges in the existing tank of the Chilibre plant, to interconnect the module on which work was being carried out in the past few days.

Currently, the water treatment plant produces 250 million gallons per day to supply the district of Panama, the district of San Miguelito, North Panama from Las Cumbres to Buena Vista and all remote sectors of the network that comprise East Panama from Pedregal to La Siesta de Tocumen.
