Torreón implements plan to renew 50 percent of water pumps
Torreón is implementing a strategy to renew approximately 50 percent of its 96 water pumps to stabilize the potable water supply. Mayor Miguel Ángel Riquelme Solís reported that the initiative has already led to a decrease in water shortage reports, with several neighborhoods that previously relied on water trucks now receiving regular service through the network.
The renewal process involves installing new package pumps and replacing piping rather than repairing old equipment off-site, which significantly reduces service interruption times. A key upcoming milestone is the interconnection of the Pozo Periodistas, expected to be completed in roughly two weeks, which will reinforce the supply for the southeastern sectors of the city, including the Latinoamericano neighborhood.
