Global water and sanitation infrastructure development
Overview
Public works projects focused on water management, sanitation, and transportation infrastructure continue across Latin America and Europe. In Argentina, developments include sewage network renewals in Santa Rosa, alongside electrical grid expansions in Buenos Aires and paving projects in San Cristóbal and San Cayetano. Other regional efforts involve canalization in Santa Fe, bridge construction on Provincial Route 98, and gas network expansions in Comodoro Rivadavia. In Ecuador, Guayaquil is executing large-scale urban works, including a USD 54.5 million aqueduct and wastewater treatment plant construction. In Mexico, Minatitlán is focusing on drainage repairs and public lighting, while Juárez seeks funding for flood prevention. The 2026 Federal Expenditure Budget has allocated 6,332.4 million pesos for water, sewage, and sanitation infrastructure. Humberto Armenta González, president of the RECSA Board of Directors, noted that investment must include maintenance and operational efficiency to ensure long-term sanitation. Currently, Mexico’s national wastewater treatment coverage stands at 68.1%. In Chile, discussions in the Atacama Region highlight potential desalination expansions. In the Valparaíso Region, the utility Esval reported that reservoir levels reached a 42% fill rate at the end of winter, the highest in over a decade, with the Aromos reservoir at 97% capacity. Additionally, the Ministry of Public Works launched a tender of over 2.28 billion pesos to conserve the coastal area of Antofagasta, targeting repairs to sea-damaged walls and saltwater pools. Recent regional council approvals in Chile have expanded infrastructure focus to remote areas. In the Aysén region, nearly $12 billion CLP was approved for a sewage network and wastewater treatment plant in Lago Verde, a project intended for completion by 2027 to address a locality where 82% of homes rely on septic tanks. In the Antofagasta region, $600 million CLP was approved for Ollagüe to fund an inter-municipal bus and a mobile veterinary clinic.
