Acuerdo No. 20 de 1891 sobre construcción de alcantarillado

Abstract

The image contains news about agreement number 20 of 1891, which details the construction and maintenance of the city's sewage system. The Public Works Board is the entity in charge of carrying out these works. The construction costs will be covered mainly by the owners of the houses located on the streets where the works are carried out. However, an exception is established for people who prove to be economically vulnerable and own low-value property. In these cases, the municipality will contribute part of the funds necessary for construction. It represents an important step towards the modernization of the city of Bogotá at the end of the 19th century, by addressing the need to improve sanitary conditions and basic infrastructure.
