The growth of the Cooplan RL Drinking Water and Sanitary Sewer Services Cooperative (Cooplan) adjusts to the modernity and basic needs of the Andrés Ibáñez citadel, better known as Plan Tres Mil, a municipal district where there are 132 neighborhoods. In this 2024 management, Cooplan consolidates the purchase of three Toyota Hilux 0 km trucks, 3 motorcycles and the implementation of QR payments, which are a sample of the institutional projections.
Investments with own resources, both in vehicles and in the technology area, are highlighted by the general management headed by William Méndez, who explains about this renewal carried out in this new management; the same that began in the month of June 2023. Coplan brings together approximately 40 thousand members and its short-term projection is to reach 50 thousand members.
Upon completion of the first year of its administration, Cooplan also made a strategic alliance with the company Master Pass for the general collection of water and sewage services; the drilling of two water wells that are about to begin operations for the benefit of new members. “Thank God the Board of Directors has given us instructions so that we, the administrative part, General Management and the entire team, can carry out this type of projects, work and achievements so that they are consolidated,” says Méndez.
At the time of the evaluation, he maintained that this first year has been satisfactory due to the consolidation of the projects, now it aims to become the first cooperative in Santa Cruz in efficiency, service, equipment and technology in the provision of the liquid element.
