Argentine Chaco province governor Jorge Capitanich has launched a tender to build a 42mn peso (US$13mn) aqueduct to improve water supply to the Villa Ángela, Du Graty and Santa Sylvina localities, the local government reported in a release.
The project comprises the construction of the aqueduct, a pumping station and a cistern in Villa Ángela, as well as a 43.2km pipeline that will connect the three areas to the water system. A total of 2,000 domestic connections will provide water to residents in Du Graty and Santa Sylvina.
Bids are due to be opened on November 25 and works are expected to start on December 15 with a 12-month deadline.
The aqueduct is part of a 531mn-peso investment plan for potable water and sewage works during the four years of Capitanich's administration.
Potable water supply is one of the governor's priorities in the province as the inhabitants called for improvements in this area in a survey carried out last year.
