This marks the first step toward enabling regional and local authorities to develop a wastewater treatment project that will improve the quality of life for the residents of Huasco.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Huasco Valley, Chile \u2013 In a concrete demonstration of collaborative work, Compa\u00f1\u00eda Minera del Pac\u00edfico (CMP), the Municipality of Huasco, and the Regional Government of Atacama formally signed an agreement on Thursday that will allow progress toward the development of the future Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) for the municipality.<\/p>\n

The ceremony, held at CMP\u2019s Guacolda Sports Complex in Huasco, brought together regional and local authorities, company representatives, and community members, who highlighted the importance of this initiative for community well-being and the sustainable development of the territory.<\/p>\n

The agreement includes the transfer, through a usufruct loan agreement, of a parcel of land owned by CMP to the Municipality of Huasco at no cost, with the objective of supporting the development of infrastructure considered strategic for the municipality.<\/p>\n

CMP Operations Manager Juan Soto stated:<\/p>\n

“Today we signed a loan-for-use agreement to provide the Municipality of Huasco, free of charge, with more than half a hectare of land owned by CMP, which will serve as the site for the future Wastewater Treatment Plant. We know that sustainable territorial development is built collectively through public-private collaboration and a long-term vision. This contribution undoubtedly reflects our commitment to the communities where we operate.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Huasco Mayor Genaro Brice\u00f1o Tapia emphasized the significance of the initiative for the municipality\u2019s future development and the well-being of its residents.<\/p>\n

“The transfer of this land from CMP to the Municipality of Huasco is excellent news for our community, as it allows us to move forward with the development of the future wastewater treatment plant together with the Regional Government. This is a fundamental project for improving the quality of life of our residents, protecting our environment, and continuing to promote Huasco\u2019s sustainable growth for the benefit of the entire community,” he said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The future Wastewater Treatment Plant is intended to address a critical need for Huasco\u2019s future by strengthening local sanitation infrastructure and creating conditions that support a better quality of life for residents.<\/p>\n

Regional Governor Miguel Vargas Correa highlighted the importance of collaborative efforts in advancing projects that benefit citizens.<\/p>\n

“The key lies in coordination. Community leaders are often the ones who identify initiatives that later become projects and programs promoted by local governments, with participation from the regional government and the collaborative network required to bring these projects to life. CMP is a company with a long tradition and history in Huasco Province, which facilitates communication and agreement-building. There is a genuine willingness to respond positively to requests and needs.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The project has long been a priority for the community, as expressed by \u00c1ngela Zavala, president of Neighborhood Association No. 3, Patria Nueva, in Huasco.<\/p>\n

“As a community leader, I am very pleased with the signing of this agreement for the wastewater treatment plant project. It represents a major step forward for us because it will help eliminate unpleasant odors. I am very grateful to CMP, which is part of our territory, as well as to the Municipality and the Regional Government of Atacama for being part of this initiative.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

With nearly 70 years of presence in the municipality, CMP has been part of Huasco\u2019s productive and social development, building relationships based on trust and collaboration with local stakeholders. In this context, the company reaffirmed its commitment to remaining an active and engaged partner in the progress of Huasco and the Atacama Region.<\/p>\n

The signing of this agreement marks another important step in an initiative designed to deliver long-term benefits to the municipality, demonstrating that sustainable development is built through dialogue, trust, and the pursuit of shared goals.<\/p>\n
