On Monday, March 17, 2025, the National Directorate of Drinking Water and Sanitation (DINEPA), through the Regional Office of Drinking Water and Sanitation (OREPA-Sud), inaugurated the Lafond Drinking Water Supply System (SAEP) in the municipality of Jacmel.

The ceremony was attended by Marco Antonio Penin Toledano, Ambassador of Spain accredited to Haiti; Ms. Lourdie César, Mayor of Jacmel; Engineer Philippe Éliscar, Regional Director for the South of DINEPA; as well as several senior government officials and civil society figures from the Southeast.

This major project in the sector includes :

1 - A 40,000-gallon water reservoir;
2 - An 8-kilometer pipeline;
3 - 4 water distribution kiosks;
4 - 150 private connections;
5 - A solar pumping station with a capacity of 200 m³/day;
6 - A photovoltaic system with 64 solar panels of 355 watts each;
7 - Installation of a backup generator.

The Lafond SAEP is part of DINEPA's efforts to improve access to drinking water in Haiti. It aims to provide a reliable and sustainable drinking water service to the residents of Lafond, thanks to cooperation between the Haitian government and the Spanish Agency for International Cooperation and Development (AECID). This modern infrastructure will significantly contribute to improving the living conditions of the beneficiary populations.
