Mexico's Tlaxcala water agency CAPAM faces complaints amid Atoyac's $30 million infrastructure push

The Comisión de Agua Potable y Alcantarillado del Municipio de Tlaxcala (CAPAM) is under growing criticism as residents report water supply cutoffs before midday, unresolved leaks that have persisted for weeks, and billing that can reach up to 2,500 pesos for a two‑month period. Complaints also cite slow response to service reports and perceived high rates despite frequent service disruptions.

In the neighboring municipality of Atoyac, Mayor Juan Carlos Rojas Castro announced that more than 30 million pesos have been allocated for 36 infrastructure projects this year. The first completed works in the Lagunilla neighborhood include new sanitary drainage, fresh potable‑water pipelines and street lighting, with additional road paving, public‑space rehabilitation and water‑network upgrades planned for later in the year.
