Beneficiaries
Kilometers of pipeline designed
Jiniapas’ water system design was completed in August 2023. The optimal solution to provide this community access to water was to design and construct a water system that contains a water storage tank of 10,000 gallons and install approximately 10 kilometres of adequate piping. This will ensure the correct water distribution and coverage across the community.
