Peru to Receive World Bank Loan for Water Network Rehabilitation

The World Bank has approved a loan of $54.5m to Peru to renovate water and sewer networks across 16 districts in Northern Lima.

Water utility SEDAPAL’s general manager Jorge Barco Martinez said the loan will help solve issues caused by bursting pipes and water losses.

World Bank director of operations and strategy for Latin America Laura Frigenti said savings that originate from the rehabilitation of the water and sewer infrastructure will be essential for supplying water to areas that have a discontinuous service and areas that lack the vital resource.
