📋 Tender Overview
The National Superintendence of Sanitation Services (Sunass) has been using artificial intelligence (AI) and other technological tools to improve its actions and processes of inspection of companies providing drinking water and sewerage services.
Thus, in order to improve the quality and efficiency of certain audit documents, AI programs are used to optimize the writing and preparation of audit reports.
In addition, the use of technology made it possible to implement remote inspection actions, that is, through videoconferences, which made it possible, during 2023, to increase by 82.6% (42 actions) the supervision of wells and drinking water treatment plants (DWTP) and by 118.8% (35 actions) the inspection of wastewater treatment plants (WWTP), compared to 2022.
It should be noted that, during 2023, Sunass also significantly increased the verification of regulatory compliance of provider companies (PEs) with 466 inspections, which represents 21.4% more than in 2022. This made it possible for 426 corrective measures to be imposed on PEs (40.6% more than in 2022), in order to improve the quality of sanitation services.
Drinking Water Pressure and Continuity
The previous year, Sunass also verified the pressure and continuity of the drinking water service, using pressure gauges and Data Loggers distributed in different sectors of the Lima region. In addition, portable flowmeters were used at the production sources of the four EPs in Lima to monitor the volume of water produced.
It should be noted that Sunass also increased inspections on the quality of billing to Sedapal users and verified the correct billing for services provided in the provider companies of Lima provinces and the 7 Sedapal service centers. It also monitored the restoration of drinking water service in the face of drinking water interruptions.
On the other hand, 100% inspection of the maintenance of fire taps (GCI) was achieved in the Lima region, prior to the 2023 end-of-year holidays.
