Overview
- Works began on October 1 after more than 15 years of inoperability, with El Comercio reporting a 90‑day schedule and an award to Consorcio Central financed by Mincetur for roughly S/4.6 million.
- The new installation includes two internal tanks, a 3.5‑meter technical basement, and an impermeabilized machine room for pumping, filtration and treatment, along with programmable water jets and LED lighting.
- Municipal officials say lane capacity at the converging avenues will be maintained during construction, with temporary adjustments such as a bike detour reported locally.
- Existing palm trees will be removed and re‑located around the perimeter, and the surrounding urban furniture, sidewalks and planters will be reordered to improve access and public use.
- The municipality has ruled out permanent holograms, allowing only occasional symbolic projections on water mist, as some residents and experts voice concerns about congestion and the project’s handling.
