Work is already underway to restore the plant's full operation. As repairs progress, the entity warned that low pressures or temporary interruptions may occur in high-lying and distant areas of the Panama and San Miguelito districts, which depend directly on this plant. Additionally, it was reported that four new engines for the pumping station have already been acquired and are pending delivery. Once installed, they are expected to improve the plant's efficiency and optimize water distribution in the capital. The Idaan reported that the Chilibre water treatment plant is operating at 90% of its capacity after a failure was detected in the motor of one of the pumps at the water treatment station. The situation has put authorities on alert due to potential supply disruptions. Idaan indicated that the equipment will be repaired to avoid major inconveniences in the drinking water supply, after specialists conducted technical evaluations and confirmed damage to the system.
