The coordination of the work was with the Secretary of Agriculture of Alegrete, as part of the actions conducted by the department to expand supply in the countryside.
How the Municipality Funded the Artesian Wells
To make the drilling of the artesian wells feasible, resources from mandatory amendments from the councilors were used:
- Cléo Trindade
- Éder Fioravante
- Firmina Soares
and also from former councilor Fátima Marchezan.
The execution is carried out by a contracted company, with the supervision and coordination of the Secretary.
Well in Pinheiros: Completed on the 29th and Minimum Service Informed
The well in the Pinheiros location was completed on the 29th.
The official information is that it will serve at least 05 families, reinforcing water supply in the countryside and directly serving rural residents.
Next Delivery: Well in Jacaquá with Resumption Next Week
The Secretary states that, next week, the company will resume activities to deliver the well in the Jacaquá location.
The continuity forecast indicates that the artesian wells continue to be a practical axis of the supply strategy in the countryside.
Next Step: Partnership with Incra to Bring Water Network to Settlements
For next year, the Secretary intends to address a long-standing demand within agrarian reform settlements, seeking to meet the needs of these rural communities.
The planned design is:
- The city hall provides resources for the drilling of artesian wells
- Incra transfers to the water distribution network to the houses, including hoses, water tank, tower, pumping station, among other items
Do you think the priority now should be to accelerate more artesian wells or focus first on the distribution network to the houses in the settlements?
