Herdé prepares infrastructure for 1,000 homes in Burubundu

ORANJESTAD — Housing and Infrastructure Minister Rene Herdé has met with public utility companies to coordinate the infrastructure required for the future Burubundu Residences housing development in Pos Chiquito.

The project covers approximately 43.8 hectares and has capacity for between 850 and 1,000 homes.

During the meeting with WEB, ELMAR, SETAR and AWSS, officials discussed a comprehensive plan for water, electricity, telecommunications and sewage infrastructure.

One of the main proposals involves creating a shared underground utility corridor for cables and pipelines to avoid duplicated work, reduce costs and facilitate maintenance.

The utility companies must prepare technical and financial proposals covering capacity requirements, costs, planning and maintenance responsibilities.

The next step will be a joint site inspection to assess infrastructure needs and coordinate the development.
