📋 Tender Overview
The EPS expanded home connections by 34% in the last 10 years, thanks to the increase in the production of drinking water due to the support of the organization.More than seven thousand families in the province of Ilo managed to access drinking water and sanitation services for the first time, during the period in which the EPS remained under the Transitional Support Regime (RAT) of the Technical Agency for the Administration of Sanitation Services (OTASS).
This advance in expanding service coverage was possible thanks to the increase in the production of the vital resource, achieved through the optimization of the system in the drinking water Treatment Plants, with the technical and financial support of the organization.
As a result and within the framework of its refloating process promoted by the Ministry of Housing, Construction and Sanitation, through the OTASS, the EPS Ilo managed to increase home connections by 34% in the last 10 years.
Among the beneficiaries are the residents of Villas Bicentenario, 3 de Septiembre and Puerto El Encanto, as well as the Upis sector of Villa Las Palmas, in Pampa Inalambrica, in coordination with the Ministry of Housing, Construction and Sanitation (MVCS).
Previously, many of these families had to be supplied from public pools and transport the water in buckets and containers to their homes. Today the story is different: they now have direct access to the drinking water network, which improves their living conditions and provides them with greater security and well-being.
They also accessed the sanitation service
In addition to the drinking water service, these families also had access to sewage connections for the first time, consolidating a comprehensive sanitation intervention that contributes to improving their quality of life and protecting their health.
Several of them previously depended on silos for the disposal of their wastewater, a practice that exposed them to health risks, including the proliferation of diseases. Now, with the installation of drainage connections, they have a safe and reliable sanitation system, significantly improving their conditions.
These advances not only directly benefit the population, but also strengthen the sustainability of EPS Ilo by expanding its user base and increasing its income. In this way, progress continues in expanding the coverage of services, marking an important step on the path towards reducing gaps in access to drinking water and sanitation services.
