Cementos Cibao donates land to Coraasan for work that will guarantee water to thousands in Puñal, Santiago

Santiago.- In an action that strengthens the public-private alliance in favor of access to drinking water, Cementos Cibao donated this Tuesday a 2,000 square meter plot of land to the Santiago Aqueduct and Sewerage Corporation (CORAASAN) for the construction of a storage tank with a capacity of two million gallons, intended to improve the supply in the municipality of Puñal and the municipal districts of Guayabal and Canabacoa of this province

The land, located in Estancia Nueva, will allow the construction of a strategic infrastructure that seeks to guarantee continuous and safe water to communities in the eastern part of Santiago, historically affected by limitations in the service. The announcement was made during an event led by the president of Cementos Cibao, Cruz Amalia Rodríguez, and the general director of CORAASAN, engineer Andrés Cueto, who agreed in highlighting the project as an example of effective cooperation between the private sector and the State to address basic needs.

Rodríguez stated that the donation constitutes “a concrete action of solidarity and commitment to the families of Puñal and its municipal districts”, underlining that the company maintains an active policy of support for sustainable development in the communities where it operates. For his part, Cueto valued the company’s contribution and explained that the work is not limited to the storage tank, but includes a pumping station, a 24-inch ductile iron impulse line, a distribution network, a motor control center, and the installation of electromechanical equipment. “It is vital infrastructure that will strengthen the system and expand the response capacity to the growing demand,” he pointed out. In the activity, the mayor of Puñal, Enrique Romero; the mayor of Guayabal, Fior Denis Tavárez; and community leaders and institutional representatives also participated. The project is part of a shared vision aimed at consolidating basic services, improving the quality of life, and promoting balanced development in the province.
