Garabito is on schedule to get a new potable water treatment plant early next year, Costa Rica’s Institute of Aqueducts and Sewers, has announced.

Plans for the property where the plant is to be installed, as well as the distribution network, are “updated and ready,” according to a statement by the Instituto Costarricense de Aquaductos y Alcantarillados (or AyA).

The new treatment plant should be ready by February, the AyA said, and will be capable of pumping 60 liters per second during the rainy season and 40 liters per second in the dry season.

Foreign direct investment in Costa Rica shot up 71% IN 2006, according to a new study released by the U.N. Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD).
Known as the World Investment Report 2007, the study found that foreigners directly invested $1.47 billion in Costa Rica last year.

Dominican Republic withdrew its bid for a seat in the United Nations Security Council, paving the way for Costa Rica to occupy the post, declaring it was in defense of the unity and solidarity of Latin America and the Caribbean.
"The Unity of Latin America and the Caribbean is first of all and more than ever in a world riddled with difficulties", acting Dominican ambassador Enriquillo A. del Rosario Ceballos expressed when speaking at the plenary of the General Assembly.
