In Nicaragua, the Empresa Nicaragüense de Acueductos y Alcantarillados Sanitarios (ENACAL) reports 95% physical progress on a potable water system improvement project in San Dionisio, Matagalpa. The works include the installation of nine kilometers of piping, a water intake structure at the La Cañada River, and the installation of a water treatment plant. The project aims to improve service for approximately 1,100 families and is expected to conclude by the end of 2026.
