The Public Services Company of Heredia (ESPH) announced last Friday the initiation of a sewer and waste water treatment project in the province of Heredia.
$30 million in government funds for the project’s first phase have been secured, with future financing available through Banco Nacional de Costa Rica, said Francisco Angulo, the project’s spokesman and head of research and development for ESPH.
Currently, the only existing sewer system in Heredia is in the central canton. These waters flow into an open area south of the city known as the “cloacas,” or raw sewerage zone, and receive no treatment.
The first phase of the project, which Angulo estimates will take five to seven years to complete, will involve construction of a treatment plant and installation of a sewer system in the towns of San Isidro and San Rafael de Heredia, as well as expanding the existing network in the central canton.
