His works began at the same time that the New Bridge was being completed, since both were complementary since the bridge would also serve, to lead the waters to new sources of which very few existed in the city. The superintendent of municipal works Don Diego de Cañas, who was the one who took the most important steps to conclude the Bridge, was replaced a few months after its conclusion by the Viscount of the Torres de Luzón, who almost immediately on May 25 In 1789, the aqueduct works began, which were financed with the same budget as the one authorized for the construction of the Bridge and they concluded on January 1, 1798, after several phases and stoppages due to lack of resources. Its pipes carried water from La Hidalga and Coca, which was also joined by the spring of La Toma, to the source of the Ocho Caños or Santa Cecilia, the Portichuelo and various sources that were built in the Market, through the New Bridge.
