Carapeguá residents denounce sewage leaks and unfinished works

Residents of Carapeguá's San Vicente neighborhood are facing unsanitary conditions due to persistent leaks from unfinished sewage system connections. Ramona Rodas, a resident, stated that a sewage register has been leaking for days, potentially from a domestic or commercial hookup, affecting the entire block. "They don't attend to the complaint," Rodas said, referring to the construction company, Consorcio Carapeguá, which has not responded to their claims.

Further complicating matters, residents in the El Portal-Zona Sur sector are complaining about incomplete sewage work. Darío Espínola expressed frustration that the project has left streets in disrepair and poorly marked. Attempts to reach the construction company's representative, engineer Juan Ignacio Galeano, were unsuccessful.

The local municipality's inspector general, Pablo Chamorro, explained that complaints should be directed to the construction company. He clarified that the municipality's role is to oversee the construction, not to directly address resident requests, which falls under the responsibility of the company. The G. 80 billion sewage project is being carried out by Consorcio Sanitario Carapeguá, funded by the Development Bank of Latin America and the Caribbean (CAF).
