Barbosa indicated that “It is a renovation of 10 thousand linear meters of sewer that ranges from 8 inches to 30 inches and we are on the Bogotá canal, on the Riviera, Caobos, Colsag, Libertadores avenue and especially that entire sector of La Playa, Quinta Vélez, diagonal Santander. It is a large project that runs until June or July”.

And also, When Home Center was built, a 12-inch collector was left underneath, which obviously no longer provided any more and was even affecting some homes, and even the Prosecutor’s Bunker., for that reason we had to intervene in an emergency.” She was emphatic in saying that the road will not remain as it is today, that the corresponding patching will be left to leave it in optimal conditions.
