The Bolivarian Government activated wells and repaired leaks in Lara state to strengthen drinking water service and improve supply to more than 350,000 inhabitants of the state.

As part of these actions, Hidroven authorities supervised the work on Station N46, the Las Plazuelas sector, in El Manzano, and the Santa Rita and 7 wells, located in the Macuto field.

The director of the firm, Luis Jonás Reyes Flores, reported that activating the well in Macuto will provide 40 liters of water per second to the system, while repairing leaks will make it possible to recover another 50 liters per second. This represents an increase of 90 liters per second for the Iribarren municipality.

The recovery plan includes three phases: well drilling, flow recovery and installation of new distribution valves. It also provides for the installation of the Santa Rita well and the installation of approximately 1,500 meters of adduction pipes.
