Conagua to Tender $193m Water Projects

Mexican water authority Conagua is to tender two potable water projects worth MXN2.27bn ($193m) under Sonara state water authority CEA’s Sonora Si water management programme.

The Revolucion potable water pipeline project will cost MXN570m ($48m) and will be tendered this month, according to bnamericas.com.

The project will improve the potable water supply of southern parts of Sonara, which are currently being supplied by an aquifer with high levels of manganese.

The Centenario Dam project, which will cost more than MXN1.7bn ($145m) to develop, will supply water to 15,000 people in Nacozari.

Other works under the Sonara Si programme include modernising the irrigation system of the Mayo Valley and constructing wastewater treatment plants in Nogales, Navojoa and Hermosillo.
