Abstract

Abstract: This project focuses on determining the feasibility of implementing a drinking water and sanitation system for the communities of Pilar de Achotes, Chombos and Piñas, in the Paletillas and Bolaspamba parishes, Zapotillo canton. To determine that the project is feasible, technical, financial, economic, social and environmental feasibility studies are developed to satisfy the demand of the population of 443 inhabitants until the year 2046. It is determined that there is an unsatisfied demand for drinking water and basic sanitation services in the aforementioned communities and to cover basic services an investment of $283,747.12 + VAT (valued added tax) is required. For the project to be financially feasible, a fee of $ 41.60 per month is required, which is very high for the families' economy. The project is economically beneficial for GAD Zapotillo because the VANE is greater than zero and the TIR is greater than 12%. The project is socially feasible because it generates social benefits in terms of family money savings and environmentally viable because there are no environmental restrictions that prevent its execution.
