Abstract

The drinking water system of the canton of Píllaro has components that have reached their design period or are in poor condition, making it necessary to evaluate the raw water intake, drinking water treatment plant, piping, pumping station, storage tanks, piping and distribution networks of the vital liquid. The first consisted of gathering information on plans and studies of the system under study; the second part consisted of a technical visit to the main components to evaluate the current state of each one of them; the third part consisted of laboratory work to determine the quality of the water distributed to the Presidente Urbina storage tanks; and in the last stage, the improvement plan was designed with the changes that should be made in the short, medium and long term. It was determined that the conduction and primary catchment works are disabled, the treatment plant has completed its design period (20 years) and is above its maximum level compared to the design flow which is 75 L/sec and the measured flow is 122.70 L/sec, it is necessary to build a storage tank for the Presidente Urbina parish in order to enhance the service for this parish among other changes that are proposed in this project.
