It stands out the Levisa dam, in Mayarí, which is considered one of the most important construction works currently being developed in the country, associated with the East-West Transfer, with a capacity of more than six million cubic meters of water.
Here, Chapman checked the works associated with the first construction stage that includes the cleaning of the base for the curtain wall and the quarries, the channel and the diversion tunnel for the hydraulic installation.
The investment, carried out by the Construction Company number 16, is part of the third construction stage of the Water Transfer in territories of the municipality of Mayarí for the benefit of the population's water supply and other important economic activities such as agriculture and power generation.
The Deputy Prime Minister said that the hydraulic development in the province of Holguín has about 110 million pesos by 2021, which includes the solution of important problems for the population and for the country's economy, such as the elimination of the water supply in pipe cars to settlements without aqueducts.
It also includes the eradication of so-called repetitive pits (those that require cleaning every month) using as an alternative the construction of simple sewers.
Chapman also evaluated the remodeling of the Pumping Station number one of the community of Deleite, in the municipality of Banes, a process that included the fitting out of seven new pumps that will guarantee water to approximately 56 thousand citizens of the municipality itself and the nearby Antilla.
Holguín has an important place in the hydraulic and socio- economic development of the country, based on several works being executed, including the Transfer and others associated with this to improve the quality of service to the inhabitants, which have not been stopped despite the economic, commercial and financial blockade imposed by the United States government on the island and the situation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, Chapman said.
