The population to be supplied at the end of the design period is> 60,000 inhabitants, considering urban and dispersed, indigenous and Creole populations. The projects were developed with a 30-year service horizon.
The development of the project included: catchment of the resource, pipelines of raw and treated water, treatment plants, pumping, storage and distribution facilities for the indigenous and Creole population scattered around them.

Treatment plants were built in the towns of Misión Nueva Pompeya and Wichí, with capacities of 600 m3 / hour and 60 m3 / hour, respectively.
The total length of pipes and aqueducts is 140,402 m adding the connections in the intake, pipes and local distribution network.
