Guajimia apartments for poor

[NewsWhore]

President Leonel Fernandez will take part in today's inauguration of the newly built Guajimia apartment complex, which will house 208 families. The complex includes one, two and three-room apartments and was built by the Santo Domingo Water and Sanitation Corporation (CAASD) in association with Canadian company Dessau-Soprin at a cost of RD$118 million. Initially 40 families will be living at the complex while the rest are still waiting for their certifications for moving into an apartment. The apartment complex is part of the general program to improve conditions for those living in the Guajimia canal environs. Today, garbage thrown in the storm and sanitary drainage system open-air canals causes regular flooding in western Santo Domingo, and the project seeks to correct this. The company is using an integrated, single window service approach to implement a project in which it will completely redevelop the area by replacing the open-air canals with underground storm and sanitary drainage systems.
