LA TRINIDAD, Nicaragua – Water utility ENACAL (Empresa Nicaragüense de Acueducto y Alcantarillado Sanitario) has awarded Spanish firm ACCIONA Agua a €5 million contact to construct a wastewater system for the city of La Trinidad, in northern Nicaragua.
In a joint venture with project company BTD, the work will be carried out over 18 months with the aim to facilitate access to sewerage services to around 9,000 people.
A sanitation network with 17.7 kilometers of piping and the construction of a number of water treatment systems, as well as all the exterior work required, will be provided.
Financed through a Central American Bank for Economic Integration loan, La Trinidad expansion is part of a plan to improve and extend the potable water and sanitation systems of 19 cities throughout the country.
