"Detail of works required:
Batch 1:
The project consists of the construction of a potable water supply system type MAG (mini gravity aqueduct) designed to carry water through a pipeline that starts from a catchment work with surface source, which has a pretreatment system by filtration to a treatment system of rural pressurized filters (FPR) and then we derive the treated water to 2 storage tanks, the water to the second tank is carried through an adduction line, then from the tanks through a distribution network, the homes of the community are supplied.
The Costa Rican Institute of Aqueducts and Sewerage is bidding the design and construction of the Monasterio tank with a capacity of 3,000 cubic meters, a work that is part of the improvements to the supply of the western sector of the metropolitan area of San Jose.

"The project consists of taking advantage of the current infrastructure, from the Puente Mulas 2 pumping station to the Bellorizonte tank, from its discharge line derive a pipeline to the site where a storage tank called Monasterio with a capacity of 200 l/s will be located.
Through a credit line from CABEI, the Costa Rican Institute of Aqueducts and Sewerage will finance the supply project for the Fifth Stage Metropolitan Aqueduct.
The megaproject, declared of public interest by the Government authorities, consists of the construction of 44.3 kilometers of pipelines, of which 8.6 kilometers are tunnels, a new water treatment plant and six storage tanks with a total capacity of 50,000 cubic meters.
The CABEI granted a loan to be used to partially finance the execution of five sanitation projects and the construction of the new National Water Laboratory.
The construction of the new National Water Laboratory will allow for increased productivity, implementation, research and development of tests, analysis and studies with state-of-the-art technology and innovative, both in water for human consumption, as well as for sanitation and wastewater, reported CABEI.
The CABEI has approved a $425 million loan to finance a water supply project in three cantons in Guanacaste, Costa Rica.
The Central American Bank for Economic Integration (BCIE) reported that the funds will be used to finance construction of hydraulic, civil and mechanical structures to achieve the multiple purpose of providing water for irrigation, water for human consumption and future generation of energy.
In Costa Rica, the Alvarado administration has asked the BCIE for a loan of $425 million to finance a water supply project in three cantons in Guanacaste.
The project consists in the construction of 300 new kilometers of water channels in the cantons of Santa Cruz, Nicoya and Carrillo, which will cover a potential area of 18,800 hectares.It also contemplates construction of the reservoir on thePiedras River and works on the dam to generate hydroelectric power.
The Costa Rican Institute of Aqueducts and Sewers is putting out to tender a supply of 7,200 tons of granulated aluminum sulphate, for the purification of water for human consumption.
Costa Rican Government Purchase 2018LN-000011-PRI:

Plans are underway to build a water treatment plant in the Ancón district of the province of Panama that will include a raw water adduction line and potable water pipeline.
According to the interactive platform "Construction in Central America" complied by CentralAmericaData, the National Aqueduct and Sewer Institute of Panama (Instituto de Acueducto y Alcantarillados Nacionales) submitted an Environmental Impact Study (EIA) to build, in Ancon, a water purification plant that will include an intake point or catchment of raw water from the Chagres River, raw water adduction line to the water treatment plant, and potable water pipeline to Panama City. It will be developed within an easement of up to 20 meters, and an approximate length of 28.5 km.
A tourism development, a medical center and a wastewater treatment plant are some of the projects that are planned for development in the country in the coming months.
Data from the interactive platform "Construction in Central America", compiled by the Business Intelligence Unit at CentralAmericaData:
This year the state run water company plans to invest $200 million on drinking water systems, several sewage works, and the renovation of existing production plants.
The Costa Rican Institute of Aqueducts and Sewers (AyA) will allocate $202 million, 56% of which will come from its own resources, 16% from state transfers and 28% from cooperation grants and foreign loans.
Some hotels are paying up to $120,000 per month for water in Guanacaste, Costa Rica, where the problem with no solution in sight is getting worse.
The problem of lack of water resources is affecting much of the province of Guanacaste, especially in tourist areas such as Playa Panama and Playa Hermosa, where the union of hoteliers in the province has denounced the fact that despite the meetings they have had with representatives of the Institute of Aqueducts and Sewers (AyA) and the government,"... all of the projects that have been proposed have been shelved or moving are very slowly."
The lack of this liquid in cantons such as Puriscal, where they say the problem will continue for three more years, is generating opportunities for water storage and treatment products.
Mismanagement of water resources is the cause of a growing number problems in providing water for both human consumption and industrial use, and at the same time is creating opportunities for businesses.
Lack of water is stopping productive development, and at the same time the very same disorderly development is causing shortages in several areas of the country.
EDITORIAL
Lack of water is stopping productive development, and at the same time the very same disorderly development is causing shortages in several areas of the country. The Central Valley is one of the areas already feeling the effects of the lack of infrastructure, as well as well defined plans, - a difficulty in Costa Rica- well executed by public institutions.

The state run Aqueducts and Sewers company (AyA) is preparing a bill to exempt three taxes on buying water saving devices such as low consumption tanks, water saving devices for pools or drinking fountains, ejector aerators, filters, faucet timers, volumetric reductors, and low consumption irrigation systems, among other things.
