Sewage Network and Chemical Wastewater Treatment Plant

Description: Currently, the municipality of Quidico does not have a sewage sanitation system, this being the cause of a health problem that threatens health, economic activity, tourism of the place and the environment. One of the serious problems that the inhabitants have is that there is no sewage network; Therefore, the disposal of excreta has been addressed individually in each family. According to SECPLAN figures, around 75% of the houses use septic tanks with and without subsequent infiltration as a sanitary solution, and the remaining 25% use a black well system, the only collective sanitary solution corresponds to the population consisting of 28 homes close-knit committee “La Esperanza de Quidico”, which has a collector on the public road with a collective septic tank and drains infiltration, which presents serious structural problems and overflow, so it has become a permanent focus of bad smells . From the environmental level, this fact represents the main problem of the community. In periods of rains, numerous estuaries are observed that descend from the populated slopes dragging sewage, or by graves that have exceeded their capacity. Given the occurrence of these soil saturation and overflow events, and due to the magnitude of these, a health emergency has been decreed, which has implied suspension of classes and closure of the Community Center for Family Health (CECOF). Within the community of Quidico there is a broad consensus that the issue of sanitation is a complex situation that has been dragging on for several years, and that with the gradual increase in the population has been sharpening. Due to the aforementioned, the Project contemplates providing service to the community (1,976 inhabitants), through the provision of a sewage network and the treatment of sewage in the area, through the implementation of “Lombrifiltros” technology " This technology consists in the use of microorganisms and worms to degrade the organic matter contained in sewage; Being a clean technology that does not generate biological sludge purge, but rather, it gives added value to the process through the generation of humus as a byproduct. The PTAS will discharge its effluent to the Quidico River, guaranteeing compliance with Supreme Decree No. 90/2001, Emission Standard for the discharge of liquid waste to marine and inland surface waters (Table No. 1). Objective The Project aims to provide environmental sanitation to wastewater generated in the town of Quidico, through the incorporation of a sewage network and a wastewater treatment system.
