Flooding and drainage problems hit Mexican towns Zapopan and Sabancuy

Heavy rains have caused sewage overflows and street flooding in Zapopan, Jalisco, leading to traffic blockages and concerns about public health. Residents have urged municipal authorities to intervene urgently to prevent further deterioration of the urban environment.

In Sabancuy, Campeche, locals are demanding that the state water and sewer commission (CAPAE) construct proper drainage systems after streets repeatedly become water‑logged, creating potholes and a risk of accidents. Community members say previous promises to repair roads have not materialised, and they are calling for immediate investment to improve the town’s infrastructure.
