The Cueto water treatment plant in the province of Holguin has entered the calibration and commissioning pase. As part of the investments to improve the water supply to vulnerable populations.
Rafael Montero, a specialist from the Territorial Delegation of Hydraulic Resources, told CNA that the process includes individual testing of the components. Including the distribution-dosing chamber. The coagulation, flocculation, sedimentation, and filtration systems, and the treated water tank.
He emphasized that it also covers the pumping station, as well as the synchronization of all these elements. Determining the filtration and sedimentation time.
The expert pointed out that, so far, it has not been necessary to begin testing the sulfate and lime pumps. But in the coming days, procedures will begin to address any increase in water turbidity.
This project, installed with a donation from Spain, will benefit more than 15,000 residents with water of improved quality, color, and flavor, he indicated.
In parallel, the Caletones desalination plant in the municipality of Gibara and the Ramón II water treatment plant in Antilla are being built. Both of which are intended to optimize service in vulnerable and hard-to-reach areas.
The Cueto water treatment plant, located in one of the municipalities included in the Plan Turquino project in Holguin, has a capacity of 1,500 cubic meters. And will operate using the East-West Transfer, one of the most impactful hydraulic projects in Cuba.
