📋 Tender Overview
More than 350 students are affected by the lack of drinking water at the San Juan Bautista educational institution.The National Superintendency of Sanitation Services (Sunass) requested urgent actions from regional and local authorities to address the problem of shortage of drinking water that affects the Mixed Primary Secondary Educational Institution (IEPSM) No. 60102, located in the El Varillal town center, district of San Juan Bautista.
The Sunass intervention was carried out after a field visit and coordination with the school management, where it was found that more than 350 students are affected by the lack of continuous access to drinking water. According to the information collected, until December 2025 the supply was carried out by tanker truck provided by the district municipality; However, the service was suspended because the tanker units are inoperative.
Given this situation, Sunass sent letters to the Regional Government of Loreto, the District Municipality of San Juan Bautista and the Ministry of Housing, Construction and Sanitation, requesting the evaluation and execution of urgent actions to restore the water supply for the benefit of the educational community. Among the measures proposed is the rehabilitation of the damaged municipal cistern and the provisional supply through another cistern unit.
The regulatory entity warned that the lack of drinking water affects the minimum hygiene and health conditions of the educational institution, a situation that could put at risk the continuity of school work and the health of the students, also considering a history of cases of leptospirosis registered in the area.
