Infrastructure repairs and drainage failures reported in Mexico

In Ciudad Juárez, the Water and Sanitation Board (JMAS) has completed repairs on a sinkhole located at the intersection of Callejón del Beso and Paseo de la Huerta in the Valle Verde neighborhood. Engineer Enrique Garduño reported that the collapse was caused by an 8-inch concrete pipe that had reached the end of its service life and was clogged with debris and soil following recent rains. Crews replaced approximately 42 meters of concrete piping with PVC to improve drainage functionality.

In Guasave, Sinaloa, the municipal water agency Jumapag reported that frequent sinkholes and drainage collapses have delayed the purchase of new vactor trucks. Manager Modesto López Leal stated that emergency repair costs in areas such as Estación Bamoa, Bamoa, and Leyva Solano have diverted funds originally intended for equipment acquisition. The agency noted that many failures stem from pipes that are 40 to 50 years old. Officials urged citizens to stop disposing of trash and wet wipes in the sewage system to reduce service calls.
