Piedras Negras faces recurring sewage leaks into Escondido River
In Piedras Negras, Coahuila, sewage discharges have once again reached the Escondido River via Boulevard República. This incident occurred just two weeks after a similar discharge was documented in the same sector, despite previous rehabilitation efforts intended to contain the runoff.
The recurring issue has raised questions regarding the state of sanitary infrastructure and environmental consequences. The current administration, led by Mayor Jacobo Rodríguez and SIMAS head Alexis González, has not yet reported an intervention to address this latest outbreak.
This situation follows a period of political and legal tension involving former SIMAS manager Lorenzo Menera Sierra. Menera recently announced he would conclude his legal battles against the current administration by December, despite ongoing disputes regarding his removal and allegations of resource mismanagement.
