Peru is to step up investment in potable water and sanitation projects in the coming year, reports BN Americas.
President Pedro Pablo Kucynski wants to invest PEN 4,200 billion ($1.3 billion) in water projects this year. Additionally, the government will transfer PEN 440 million ($136 million) to 47 bankrupt municipal water companies.
The plans were outlined by housing and construction minister Edmer Trujillo at World Water Week in Stockholm, 28 August to 1 September 2017.
Trujillo confirmed that the Provisur project for a desalination plant and wastewater treatment works on the outskirts of capital city Lima is to start on site in October. The two-year project will service 100,000 people.
A further $3 billion is to be spent on public-private partnership (PPP) projects for wastewater treatment and sanitation works, as part of Kuczynski’s ambition to extend potable water and sanitation services to the whole of Peru.
