SEDAPAL, being the largest sanitation company in the country and supplying water to 40% of the country's GDP, presents great challenges not only to supply drinking water to the 11.5 million inhabitants, but above all to give adequate wastewater treatment and promote its reuse. Although 92% of raw water is treated, only 3.6% is being reused for irrigation of green areas and crops. With the enactment of D.L. No. 1280, there is a favorable legal framework to market raw wastewater, but according to the National Environmental Action Plan 2011-2021, one of the priority water goals is not being met, that “50% of the treated urban wastewater is reused”. SEDAPAL has a complicated mission in wanting to comply with quality standards for wastewater treatment and reuse, since the raw water that goes to the Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) has high variability in quantity and quality, so it will be better to offer the raw water before it arrives. to the WWTPs. For this, potential clients or industries where freshwater is scarce and that do not need freshwater for their operations and garden irrigation must be sought. Likewise, it is necessary to have effluent quality standards for the reality of the country, as well as internal marketing procedures that allow it to sell the wastewater and thus establish a market for reuse in Lima. After analyzing the solution alternatives, it is proposed that SEDAPAL commercialize the wastewater to clients, such as industries, and that they carry out the investment and operation and maintenance (O&M) of the WWTP. In this way, avoided costs are generated in the operation and final disposal. For this, a business case of an industry is made where it is shown that investing in wastewater treatment is more cost-effective compared to groundwater and a desalination plant. Finally, to achieve greater commercialization, it is proposed to rethink the Wastewater Management Department by adding an area of interrelation with the private sector, since offering raw wastewater promises greater opportunities than treated wastewater.
