Johnston: “we are working for the Catriel of the future”.
“We are working for the Catriel of the future”, said JSRN legislator Carlos Johnston on Radio Alas, in reference to the works to be executed in neighborhoods that flood on rainy days and also to the mega project of a solar park in the area of the new industrial park.
“The study made by the University of La Plata related to the problems we have in Catriel in floodable sectors, was very positive. We are slowed down in several neighborhoods because prior to all of them, the drinking water works (in execution) and the sewage works, which are about to start, must be finished. These are two fundamental works for the city with very important investments of millions of dollars”, said the former municipal chief.

He added that “these works have been postponed for years, but they are a necessity in almost all the neighborhoods. Now they are being done and will significantly improve the quality of life of all the neighbors”.
Drainage works
He detailed that in the case of the Preiss neighborhood, which is one of the ones that has grown the most, in addition to the houses built, many neighbors have settled with their families and this demands more and more services. “We have been there with professionals and I understand that this problem of water accumulation has to be solved as soon as possible,” he noted
“In the next few days a millionaire tender will be opened for the Preiss neighborhood and the works aim at the runoff of rainwater. A channel will be built throughout Birmania with a curb and gutter on Rosario Street and asphalting in sectors adjacent to CET 21. We believe that this is the beginning of a solution for the neighborhood”. Johnston expressed
Also another critical street is Azucena Villaflor, Lot 14, 150 houses and Santo Domingo, where “next year, all this that is already projected will begin to notice improvements”.

“These days we are starting with the sewage works in the Mosconi neighborhood, which will solve everything in that sector, including the 200 homes neighborhood. In other words, we are busy, although sometimes things do not come out in the time we would like them to. This will also allow the total asphalting of Mosconi Avenue, which will also include a bike path”, pointed out the Juntos legislator.
Solar Park
Regarding this work, Carlos Johnston explained that it is a 100-hectare park of mobile solar panels, which has already been submitted to all the competent bodies, including the Energy Secretariat. It will be located in the area of the new industrial park, near the meat packing plant. It has an investment of 53 million dollars, it will produce 60 Megawatts.
“Let’s bear in mind that Catriel consumes 10 megawatts. That is to say, the surplus is reinjected to the grid and that is energy that is sold and the money Catriel obtains is reinvested in works”, said Johnston and pointed out that “this work will be extremely important for the city since we would not depend exclusively on oil and this would allow us to think about other projects”.

“In order to execute this great project, financing is needed, which is also already underway. We are thinking of a Catriel for 20 years”, concluded the Legislator and former Mayor.
