📋 Tender Overview
During supervision in 85 points of the city, levels of residual chlorine in the water coming from the La Tomilla PTAP were evaluated.The National Superintendency of Sanitation Services (Sunass) intensified the control of the quality of the drinking water distributed by Sedapar S. A., through monitoring at 85 strategic points in Metropolitan Arequipa.
The inspection sought to verify the effectiveness of the disinfection of drinking water at the La Tomilla treatment plant (PTAP), from where the service is distributed to 42% of the homes in the White City.
To this end, the levels of free residual chlorine in drinking water at different points in the distribution networks were evaluated. Verification makes it possible to verify that the disinfection of the service is maintained within the established quality standards, which require residual chlorine concentrations greater than 0.5 mg/l throughout the distribution system and not only in the treatment plant.
The operation is part of the inspection powers of Sunass, which also contemplates the possibility of expanding the scope of inspection actions if non-compliance is identified. The results will allow determining possible corrective measures, in accordance with current regulations.
