Corrientes Governor Valdés Reactivates Key Sewage Treatment Plants with National Support
Governor Juan Pablo Valdés of Corrientes province met with national public works secretary Bartolomé Heredia and other federal officials to discuss restarting stalled sewage‑treatment projects. The talks focused on the treatment plant at Santa Catalina in the capital city and a similar facility in Paso de la Patria, which had reached about 70 % construction before work stalled.
The national government confirmed the reactivation, allocating a budget of roughly 3.2 billion Argentine pesos and setting a 72‑month execution schedule. Officials said the renewed effort aims to finish the installations, improve wastewater management, and enhance public‑health conditions for the province’s residents.
