The president of the National Administration of Aqueducts and Sewers (ANDA), Jorge Castaneda, announced that the complete replacement of pipelines in San Salvador will continue in 2025 as part of efforts to reduce water leaks and modernize the distribution system.

Castaneda explained that in the northern area of the San Salvador Metropolitan Area (AMSS), which supplies 30% of its users, approximately 24 kilometers of pipelines will be replaced. Meanwhile, an additional 25 kilometers will be renewed in the eastern zone of the AMSS. These interventions are part of a strategic plan to minimize unaccounted-for water losses caused by decades of neglect and lack of maintenance of the infrastructure.

“We will continue repairing leaks, but it’s essential to go further and implement complete infrastructure replacements. This is a long-term investment project,” said Castaneda.

The official also highlighted that in the first months of 2025, over 27,000 leak repairs have been carried out, while more than 3,000 interventions have already been registered this year.

Among the projects underway, Castaneda mentioned the pipeline replacement in the Los Héroes neighborhood near Cuscatlán Stadium, where 3 kilometers of pipelines are being renewed, directly benefiting 2,500 people.

Venezuelan opposition leader Edmundo González Urrutia will meet with Costa Rican President Rodrigo Chaves this Thursday, the Presidential Office of Costa Rica announced today.

“We will give a warm welcome to the person who won the July elections in Venezuela, and we continue to denounce electoral fraud,” President Chaves stated during his weekly press conference.

Meanwhile, Costa Rican Foreign Minister Arnoldo André explained that González Urrutia is visiting Costa Rica to “inform the president and provide details about the situation in Venezuela, the victory he achieved with over 7 million votes on July 28, and the electoral fraud committed by Nicolás Maduro’s regime, which fraudulently swore him in as president.”

González Urrutia is currently in Guatemala, having arrived from the Dominican Republic as part of a tour through several countries ahead of the controversial inauguration on January 10, during which the Chavista leader Nicolás Maduro was sworn in as president by the National Assembly, controlled by the ruling party.

Guatemalan President Bernardo Arévalo de León highlighted this Tuesday the progress made in the fight against corruption and drug trafficking as cornerstones of his first year at the helm of the Guatemalan government, during a session in Congress.

“We are in a process of transformation, but the commitment must be focused on eradicating the corruption that has oppressed us for so long,” said the president during the presentation of his first government report.

Arévalo de León urged lawmakers to “work together for structural change” in the country and thanked the president of the Legislative Body, Nery Ramos, for their joint efforts in the approval of various laws and the alliances formed during 2024.

The Guatemalan president highlighted as an achievement of his administration the denunciation of dozens of corruption structures embedded in state entities, such as fraud networks involving businessmen and former officials.
