The cut will be between Friday 18 and Sunday 20 February.
Xavier Espinoza, manager of EMAPA, clarified that in the area where the road interchange is being worked on, the pipeline and distribution networks for drinking water pass to the north of Ambato, but that coordination was carried out with different institutions, as well as with the builder of the work so that the population is not left unattended.
He also reported that the loudspeaker and delivery of flyers is carried out so that the public is aware of the suspension of the liquid element so that they take the forecasts of the case, that in addition meetings were held with the presidents of the parish councils to coordinate the delivery of water through tankers.
Jorge Palma, an EMAPA technician, commented that the planning is expected to be completed within the established deadlines, in view of which once the Los Andes Consortium, the work’s contractor, communicates that the works scheduled for Friday and Saturday are finished, the pumping and filling of the pipes will begin.
