Aqualia Awarded Major Wastewater Infrastructure Project in Perú to Benefit More Than 365,000 Residents

Cajamarca, Perú Wastewater Treatment Plant strengthens Aqualia’s global leadership in sustainable water infrastructure

HOUSTON, TX, UNITED STATES, July 29, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Aqualia, the parent company of MDS Aqualia, has been awarded the contract to design, finance, build, operate, and maintain the Cajamarca Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) in Perú through a public-private partnership (PPP) led by Perú’s investment promotion agency, PROINVERSIÓN.

The 26-year concession will transform wastewater management in Cajamarca, providing modern sanitation infrastructure that will improve public health, protect local waterways, and enhance the quality of life for over 365,000 residents.

Currently, untreated wastewater from the city is discharged into the Mashcón and Cajamarquino rivers. The new facility will address this long-standing environmental issue with a modern treatment plant capable of processing an average flow of about 592 liters per second, along with a comprehensive wastewater collection and conveyance system.

This award marks another milestone in Aqualia’s international growth strategy and expands the company’s project portfolio in Perú to nearly €1 billion, following the successful award of the Chincha Sanitation Project in 2025.

“This award represents another important milestone for Aqualia and reinforces our long-term commitment to Perú,” said David Díez, Aqualia’s Director for Latin America. “We are proud to bring our international experience to a project that will improve public health, protect natural resources, and create lasting opportunities for future generations. Our goal is to remain a trusted, long-term partner in delivering sustainable water and wastewater solutions.”

During the official award ceremony, Luis Del Carpio, Executive President of PROINVERSIÓN, emphasized the importance of continued investment in public infrastructure through public-private partnerships.

“Our commitment does not end with the signing of a contract. It continues to ensure these investments become infrastructure and services that improve the quality of life of the Peruvian people.”

The ceremony was attended by national and local government officials, representatives of the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), and leaders from Perú’s Ministry of Housing, Construction and Sanitation, all of whom highlighted the transformational impact the project will have on the Cajamarca region.

The Cajamarca award reflects ongoing confidence in Aqualia’s technical, financial, and operational expertise in delivering complex water infrastructure projects and further strengthens the company’s position as one of the world’s leading providers of sustainable water and wastewater solutions.

As part of the Aqualia Group, MDS Aqualia brings that same global expertise to Texas, where the company manages water and wastewater utilities for more than 450,000 residents, partnering with municipalities and utility districts to deliver resilient, innovative, and customer-focused water solutions.
