The Regional Government of Aysén approved nearly 11.9 billion pesos to build a sewage and wastewater treatment system in Lago Verde, a remote town in the Patagonia region of Chile.
This investment represents the highest funding ever granted under the Plan de Zonas Extremas for this area. The project will provide sanitary solutions to more than 200 homes. Currently, 82% of the residents rely on septic tanks while the remaining 18% use black holes for waste disposal.
The new infrastructure will replace these individual systems to improve public health and protect the natural environment. Mayor Claudia Valdés stated that the project marks a historical advance for the community. The system aims to provide dignity and better living conditions for the nearly 1,000 inhabitants of the town.
