This important project will ensure that 1,400,000 local residents have access to drinking water. The ceremony was conducted by the President of the Dominican Republic, Lic. Danilo Medina Sanchez, and the Director General of the Corporación del Acueducto y Alcantarillado de Santo Domingo (CAASD), Arq. Alejandro Montás, with the British Ambassador, Mr Chris Campbell, in attendance.
