Mocorito mayor announces payroll cuts as water service relies on single truck

Mocorito municipal leader Enrique Parra Melecio said the town’s finances are strained and the city will conduct a serious review of its payroll, targeting staff reductions to curb expenses. He noted inherited debt, delayed salary payments and even electricity cuts, and said meetings with the treasurer and chief of staff will determine the scale and timing of any layoffs.

At the same time, the Junta Municipal de Agua Potable y Alcantarillado de Mocorito (JMAPAM) is distributing water to the municipality with only one water‑truck after recent rains damaged the regular supply system. General manager Oscar Alan Duarte Bravo listed the communities receiving water and explained that the state water commission cannot provide additional trucks due to high demand elsewhere. crews are working to repair the damaged infrastructure and restore regular service as quickly as possible.
