The project has two main components: water and wastewater one further aspect: institutional development.

Main characteristics:

Supply studies for the refurbishing of existing plants were performed as well as improvement in the pumping of raw water and optimization of the pumping of treated water. The Alta 4 Pumping Station and ancillary and substations and 6,330 m of 48" diameter conduits were put into service. Additionally, 17,000 m of distribution pipes were installed in the southwestern area with varying diameters between 10" and 36"; a 5,000-m³ storage tank was constructed and secondary pipes installed. An additional 17,000 m of distribution pipes were installed in Northern Barranquilla to provide adequate water supply to the higher areas of the city.

Wastewater:

The north sewage collectors (6,500 m) were designed and assessment was provided to the project owner to carry out the work under the added-value system, as the benefit allows for an efficient development of the area.

In the southwest zone two 400 m x 200 m oxidation ponds were built, a pumping station was designed, the final effluent installed and collector procurement for the area adjacent to the oxidation pond set out for bid.

Institutional development:
