The water treatment plant designed to clean up much of the sewer waters that usually end up raw in the Isabela and Ozama rivers is expected to go into operation next month. According to the Santo Domingo Water and Sewer Corporation (CAASD), the project will benefit some 450,000 persons in the north part of the National District and part of Santo Domingo province.
CAASD boss, Alejandro Montas says the civil engineering parts of the pumping station have been completed. Workers are now installing six pumps of 478 hp each. A 6 MW power station is ready. A huge, 48″ pipe that is 240 m long connects the pumping station with the treatment plant.
