- There is still no technical file that contains a solution to cover projected supply demandIca.- The Comptroller General of the Republic warned that, due to the prolonged paralysis of the installation works of the drinking water and sewage systems for the district of Marcona, in the province of Nasca, said unfinished basic sanitation infrastructure suffered deterioration and to date there is no technical file that would allow the restart of this project that will benefit 24 thousand residents.
According to the Control Visit Report No. 156-2026-CG/VICOS-SVC, whose evaluation period was from January 26 to 27, 2026, this work initially cost S/ 34,199,740 and had an execution progress of 84.98% until its stoppage in 2021. Currently, it presents a noticeable deterioration and rust in different structures such as the chambers. well, meeting and pumping, water conduction line pipes, air passes and the wastewater treatment plant, among others.
It is worth noting that the District Municipality of Marcona, in agreement with a private entity, is managing the preparation of the technical file for additional No. 2, which will allow the restart and completion of the work; However, this document must provide a technical solution to the problem of current sources (wells), where the required flow would not be obtained to ensure the continuous supply of water in Marcona in the project horizon until 2034.
The situation has become more critical due to the fact that Marcona has a population increase due to the presence of mining and energy projects (wind farms) and subcontractors, which has intensified the shortage of drinking water for the inhabitants, who receive the service in a restricted and intermittent manner.
The result of this control visit report was communicated to the head of the Marcona District Municipality so that he can carry out the corresponding preventive and corrective measures.
