DOM begins drilling a well in the canton of El Alto Potonico, Chalatenango – Diario La Página – 2024-03-07 03:38:35

The Municipal Works Directorate (DOM) began drilling a well in the El Alto de Potonico canton, in Chalatenango, which will benefit more than 159 inhabitants.

The first phase of the project consists of drilling a well 250 meters deep, 17 and a half inches in diameter, as well as 12 inches of casing; which will be lined with smooth carbon steel pipe and carbon steel grating, under ASTM A-139 grade B standard.

The population of the El Alto canton is supplied by a spring known as Los Peñales, which has very low production and in the dry season the problem worsens, a situation that makes it necessary to start the project.

After the well has been drilled, the technicians will carry out the different capacity tests, continuing with the lining with carbon steel pipe, as well as the capacity tests to determine the water exploitation capacity.

Likewise, to verify the quality of the liquid, the respective analysis will be carried out, while the treatments to be applied for the supply will be defined.
