The new resolution was issued on August 31, 2026, and notified on September 25, 2026, the date from which the five-year validity of the granted right begins. The registration was recorded under Perpetual Number 0025, folios 36 and 37, Volume VII of the Discharge Permit Registration Book, with the registration reference RPNDAPS-LIPV-RPV-0025-2026.

The discharge point: San Juan River basin and 29,792.80 m³ per year

• Maximum authorized annual discharge volume: 29,792.80 m³.

Procedure, proxy, and official publication

The application was submitted on September 25, 2026, by engineer Guillermo Alonso Sánchez Lacayo, acting as General Administrative Proxy for Servicios Residenciales Nejapa, S.A., a company incorporated by Public Deed number 44 on July 22, 2015, before the notary offices of Edytha Greenhilde Cruz Hernández, with representation accredited by the Testimony of Public Deed number 2 on January 2, 2021, before Julieta del Socorro Jarquín González.

The certification was signed and sealed by registrar Luis Fernando Yescas García in Managua, at 2:15 p.m. on September 25, 2026, and issued at 2:20 p.m. on that same day. The Seventh Ruling of the registered resolution establishes that the certification must be published in La Gaceta, Diario Oficial within a maximum period of fifteen calendar days.

The publication of this act is important for the users of the watercourse in the San Juan River basin and for the environmental management of the capital, because it sets for five years the discharge ceiling for domestic wastewater from a provider operating in the municipality of Managua and provides public record, with coordinates and volume, of the point where that discharge reaches a natural watercourse.
