Mexico ❚❚Realito Aqueduct. This infrastructure is included within the 23-year concession
for the provision of management and purification of water from the El Realito dam
to the San Luis Potosí (Mexico) city, awarded by the State Water Commission
of San Luis Potosí to a company consortium in which Aqualia participates. The
management is responsible for transporting 1.02 m3/s from the dam to the
treatment plant, and 1.0 m3/s from the latter to deliver tanks located in the city of
San Luis Potosí, covering 40% of the needs of 342,680 water users, equivalent to
a total of 1.2 million users. This project has won two distinctions: the award from
the Global Water Intelligence publication for the innovative structure for financing
the macroproject and the best project in Latin America for its innovative financing
model given by the financial publication Euromoney.
❚❚Queretaro II Aqueduct. One of the most important hydraulic works of Mexico.The
award was established for a period of 18 years for the provision of water supply
to the city of Querétaro. The project aims to meet the challenges of water supply
in the short, medium and long term of Santiago de Querétaro, releasing much of
the pressure on the sustainability of the aquifer and ensuring the lowest possible
cost of production. The length of the aqueduct is 123 kilometres and covers much
of the territory of the State of Queretaro. Production capacity is 1500 litres per
second and it rises a total height of about 1,200 meters from the diversion dam to
the treatment plant. The project will provide drinking water to 700,000 people.
Chile ❚❚The desalination of Copiapó, Chile’s first contract, comprises the engineering
development of a desalination plant and the supply, installation and commissioning
of electronic equipment. It will have a production capacity of 30 million litres
of drinking water a day, a volume that will supply an estimated population of
175,000 people in the northern region of Copiapó, near the desert of Atacama.
Uruguay ❚❚Aqualia has signed the largest sanitation contract with the Montevideo government
with an investment of over 48 million dollars. This is the most important work of
the second stage of the “Urban Sanitation Plan IV” city program, which is running
and it is expected that after completion will achieve a 100% sanitation coverage.
