Peru They Highlight Tender

The mayors of Lima Jorge Muoz La Victoria George Forsyth and the provincial of Tumbes Jimmy Silva agreed on the need for an urban planning policy that contributes to controlling the population growth of the countrys cities and allows that more Peruvians can access drinking water. They also agreed that it is essential to promote the articulation of the municipalities with the different levels of the State since the mayors are the level of government closest to the people and most interested in prioritizing the execution of water projects.Both proposals were raised in the panel Water in the city of the event All Waters organized by the MVCS through the Technical Organization of the Administration of Sanitation Services Otass and the EU03 of Modernization of Services of Sanitation with the support of the World Bank and moderated by the executive director of the organization Oscar Pastor who highlighted the high concern of the burgomasters for cleaning and maintaining the basins to guarantee the quality of the water that is distributed both in Lima and in provinces.Mayor Jorge Muoz highlighted the search for solutions from the territorial point of view and recognized as part of his concerns the rapid growth of cities which must have he said an adequate planning policy currently on hold due to the lack of means. I consider it important to listen to the mayors since we are the ones who are closest to the people who directly feel their needs and seek solutions to improve their standard of living. This is evidenced by the fact that the Municipality of Lima delivered during the quarantine 2.5 million gallons of drinking water with Sedapal and the Ministry of Housing for the benefit of 376 thousand 200 people from 16 districts of the capital that do not have this service he added.Without water there is nothingOf the same opinion was the mayor of La Victoria George Forsyth who believes that without water there is nothing no development no education no growth no economic activity that improves the country. He raised the need to stop the clearing of the hills where it costs nine or ten times more to supply and pump the water than in other areas of the district.Forsyth reiterated that only by speeding up the execution of water projects can the lack of water that affects millions of Peruvians be solved. Peru starts must start with these works which already have files and are to tender. It is necessary to prioritize them since the population is asked to face the pandemic to wash their hands and they do not have water. Finally the provincial mayor of Tumbes Jimmy Silva stressed the importance of articulated work to solve the various problems that exist in cities like Tumbes. We believe that investment must be prioritized to generate water resources through reservoirs that will improve the quality of life of the population. There are projects in my region with more than 10 years of waiting and that have not been carried out until today he said.He stressed that for 19 months he has been working jointly with Otass and they have managed to increase 110 more liters of water to the El Milagro Treatment Plant as well as the feasibility of technical works on the way to being executed. We have taken water to unserved areas along with Otass the Army and the Firefighters which shows that we must align ourselves to achieve the countrys water development he noted.
