SEAPAL Invests Over 6 Million Pesos to Strengthen Water and Sanitation Infrastructure

The actions include the purchase of nine pumps for water sources, maintenance of 13 emergency plants, and a set of winches

As part of the efforts to strengthen service operations and prepare for the rainy season, SEAPAL Vallarta invested over 6 million pesos in May in equipment and strategic infrastructure for drinking water production and preventive maintenance of the sanitary drainage system.

Among the most significant actions is the acquisition of nine pumping units, five of which are for emergency installation at Gallery 3 of the Cuale River, Well 37, Well 25, the Agua Azul Repumping Station, and the Mascota River Vertical Galleries. These projects have allowed for the recovery and strengthening of drinking water production, improving the supply to the population.

In addition, the agency maintains four "versatile" pumps, which will remain available for immediate deployment in case of failures at any production source. This measure will significantly reduce response times, expedite the recovery of water flow, and strengthen the continuity of service for the residents of Puerto Vallarta.

Likewise, the agency is carrying out preventive maintenance on emergency generators at 13 strategic facilities to anticipate any eventuality related to power outages during the rainy season. This work includes maintenance on eight wastewater pumping stations, which are essential to prevent health risks and environmental damage.

These efforts also include maintenance at facilities such as Wells 37, 25, and 1 Juntas, as well as the water treatment plants at Cerro del Machete and the Cuale River, to mitigate potential impacts on drinking water production sources resulting from weather events.

In addition, SEAPAL Vallarta acquired a new set of winches, a specialized tool used to strengthen preventive desilting work in the sanitary network, especially in points with high accumulation of grease, thus helping to prevent blockages and spills in the drainage system.
