📋 Tender Overview
Through a ranking of water consumption carried out by Sedapal, with the aim of proposing a better care of this resource, it has been evidenced that San Isidro is the district with the highest water consumption in all of Lima.
The World Health Organization (WHO) states that the average daily water consumption should be, per inhabitant, between 50 and 100 liters. However, in Lima there are areas where consumption per person exceeds 200 liters per day.
Thus, in the district of San Isidro the monthly water consumption amounts to 242 liters, followed by La Molina with 233, Miraflores with 214 and Surco with 200.
Sedapal's commercial manager, Katia Ochoa, said that there are four districts with the lowest consumption of drinking water in Lima, however, these also exceed what is established by the WHO: Carabayllo (110), Lurigancho (107), Mi Perú (105) and Ventanilla (104).
In view of this, it should be noted that Lima is located in a desert and that Sedapal makes efforts to ensure that citizens have drinking water in their homes. In this sense, Ochoa called on the entire population to make rational use of this vital resource, so that it can reach more people.
Sedapal offers the following recommendations that will allow not only to save water and money, but also to preserve it:
Wash fruits and vegetables in a bowl of water, rather than with the spout open.
Take 5-minute showers and turn off the faucet while you lather up.
Clean floors and surfaces with a bucket of water, rather than using a hose.
In addition, it is essential to check the water service connections to avoid constant leaks or drips that generate a negative impact on savings.
