The MpD counters this with investments already made. Positions expressed on Monday night, during the \u201cPlenary\u201d program on Ra\u0301dio Morabeza.<\/p>\n<p>Nilton Silva, from PAICV, said, during <a href=\"https:\/\/share.transistor.fm\/s\/5e6fbaf2\">the debate<\/a> , that there is a setback in the sector and defends a fourth health plan for Sa\u0303o Vicente.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt seems that in the city of Praia and in other municipalities in the country we have, lately, regressed a lot. Even Sa\u0303o Vicente is starting to show signs. How is it possible that in order to carry out maintenance on the equipment, the entire water supply in Sa\u0303o Vicente was interrupted last week? Is it not possible to carry out maintenance in a phased, scheduled manner? With the accelerated urban growth in Sa\u0303o Vicente, we cannot continue with this policy of investing in tubes and tubes. With the urban expansion we have at the moment, we need a fourth health plan for Sa\u0303o Vicente\u201d, he argues.<\/p>\n<p>The UCID follows the same line. Anto\u0301nio Monteiro understands that the lack of investment and maintenance of existing infrastructure prevents water from being made available with the necessary frequency, quality and quantity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToday, with reverse osmosis technology, one cubic meter of water can be produced with approximately 2.5 to 3 kWh. If we are to see a reduction in terms of specific energy consumption for this precious liquid, we question why the water load is that it is not possible to guarantee the desired quantity and quality of water for the populations on the islands. This only has one name, it is negligence on the part of those who govern the country\u201d, he understands.<\/p>\n<p>The MpD denies the Government&#8217;s setbacks and incapacity. Jose\u0301 Carlos da Luz justifies his position with the construction of more than four thousand kilometers of network and more than 36 thousand new home connections, between 2016 and 2022, in an investment of 2.6 million contos.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis investment contributes to increasing the connection rate to networks, going from 64.1% in 2015 to 73.8% in 2022. This shows that there was a 10% growth\u201d, he says.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRegarding desalinated water, a desalination plant with a capacity of 10 thousand cubic meters was installed in Sal, 10 thousand cubic meters in Sa\u0303o Vicente, 770 cubic meters in Maio, 5 cubic meters in Praia, 1,200 cubic meters in Santa Catarina, 200 cubic meters in the north of Boa Vista. A 500 cubic meter unit was also recovered in Santa Cruz. Brava will have a daily 500 cubic meters of 100% solar energy. This shows that the work is being done. Now, we cannot expect results all at once,\u201d he points out.<\/p>\n<p>Jose\u0301 Carlos da Luz recalls that the Government&#8217;s goal is to reach 90 liters of water per person and per day, in addition to diversifying the forms of mobilization through desalination and using renewable energy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/cape-verde\">Cape verde<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Cape verde.
