The National Water Commission (Conagua) will suspend water supply in Mexico City's Azcapotzalco, Venustiano Carranza and Gustavo A. Madero mayors on March 24 and 25 due to work to replace a valve in the Ecatepec Aqueduct bypass.
The Mexico City Water System (Sacmex) estimated that the repair work will last approximately 12 hours, which will begin on the morning of this Thursday, so low pressures and reduced service hours are expected on Friday, March 25.
In the mayor's office Gustavo A. Madero will be the most affected by these maintenance works, where the affected colonies will be San Felipe de Jesús, Providencia, Ampliación Providencia, Nueva Atzacoalco, July 25, Vasco de Quiroga, Campestre Aragon, La Pradera, Villa de Aragon, San Juan de Aragon (first, second, fourth, sixth and seventh sections) , while in the Venustiano Carranza it will be in the colonies Pensador Mexicano and Peñon de los Baños. Finally in Azcapotzalco it will be in the popular Obrero neighborhood.
To mitigate the impact of the cut, water supply services will be provided in these areas with the support of pipes, which must be requested from the telephone numbers of the Mexico City Water System.
Once the block supply to the Breaker Box of the Chiconautla Aqueduct has been completely restored, the service will be normalized, the capital agency reported.
Last Sunday, March 20, the Head of Government of Mexico City (CDMX), Claudia Sheinmbaum, agreed with the mayor of Iztacalco, Armando Quintero, to improve water supply in the most lagging areas through increased investments.
Sheinbaum explained “That is why this year for Iztacalco, in terms of drinking water and drainage, we are going to support it with around 200 million pesos.” The Head of Government recalled that in recent years there has been a severe drought throughout the central part of the country, a situation in which less water has been received in the capital than originally supplied by the Cutzamala System.
In this regard, he noted that the Government of CDMX has worked hard to reduce water leaks that have affected the secondary water network through a sectorization program, as well as the improvement of the capital's wells, in addition to carrying out works to bring more water from other areas such as the Madin Dam, State of Mexico (Edomex).
“These are works that take a little time and that is why they have not been reflected in the water supply, particularly in Iztacalco and other areas. We are going to make a very important investment to improve all of this in the distribution of drinking water, in water treatment plants and particularly in some works that we are going to do in the Eastern Agriculture,” said Claudia Sheinbaum.
The National Meteorological Service reported that from October 1, 2021 to March 20, 2022 it rained 20.3% less than the historical average for that same period.
La Conagua explained that from 1 January to 20 March, there was a deficit of 29.1% of rainfall compared to the national historical film of that period.
The Aguas del Valle de México Basin Agency noted that, as of March 21, the storage of the three main dams of the Cutzamala System (El Bosque, Valle de Bravo and Villa Victoria), which supplies part of the Metropolitan Area of the Valley of Mexico, stood at 55.7%, representing a decrease of 1%, compared to with the data presented on March 15.
