As part of a project funded by the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) and the the International Development Agency and Spanish cooperation (AECID) amounting approximately 13 million U.S. dollars, the rehabilitation and extension works of the network of the National Directorate of Water Supply and Sanitation (DINEPA) of Jacmel have been launched.

The engineer Frantz Pierre Louis, of the Regional Directorate Dinepa Southeast indicated that at the completion of the work, the meters will be installed among subscribers to better manage the service and also invited moreover, people who want to have a connection to water service, to come claim their contract at the office of the DINEPA of Jacmel.
