Sewage leaks and infrastructure neglect reported in León and Puerto Vallarta

In León, Guanajuato, merchants at the Descargue Estrella market are reporting persistent issues with sewage leaks and stagnant wastewater on Amores and Torreón streets. Local vendors state that the foul odors and standing water have caused health concerns and reduced foot traffic, impacting sales. Despite reports made to the León Potable Water and Sewerage System (SAPAL), residents claim the leaks remain unrepaired.

In Puerto Vallarta, a severe sewage leak originating from Callejón Pedregoso is flowing through the city center toward the Malecón and into the sea. This environmental issue is compounded by accumulated trash and broken street lighting on the path to the Mirador de la Cruz. Residents and business owners are calling for immediate intervention from municipal authorities and Seapal Vallarta to address the sanitation and maintenance failures in this high-traffic tourist area.
