The Bolivarian Government, through the Ministry of Popular Power for Water Care (MINAGUAS), is rehabilitating four major works to guarantee water service to residents of the municipality of Santa María de Ipire, Guárico state.

In this regard, Ministry workers have consolidated the replacement of an important adduction, which consists of more than 17 kilometers of 12-inch diameter steel and HDPE pipe, from the La Becerra reservoir to the Santa María de Ipire water treatment plant, in addition to the installation of 1.8 kilometers of 12-inch diameter pipe in the Banco Obrero sector to complete this aqueduct, according to a press release from MINAGUAS.

In the same way, in La Becerra, a new barge was built that will optimize the collection of water resources, with a 100 HP pumping unit, to carry water for 24 kilometers to La Lagunita, and then be treated at the plant and then distributed to the population of Santamarieños.

Meanwhile, in La Lagunita, workers from the Páez Hydrological Company (HIDROPÁEZ) are carrying out an extension to turn this site into an artificial reservoir, which allows storing a greater flow of water during rainy seasons and at the same time damming the water that will come from El Embalse La Becerra.

“We are grateful for this major work that is being carried out, as a Pueblo we are satisfied because we will be able to constantly have our water through pipes,” said María Salinas, a resident of the sector.
