Hermosillo municipal infrastructure and sanitation programs

The municipal government of Hermosillo, led by Mayor Antonio Astiazarán Gutiérrez, has initiated several programs focused on urban infrastructure, public health, and community services.

Initial efforts included intensive road rehabilitation through pothole repair crews and a 2.5 million peso investment for street works in Bahía de Kino and the Miguel Alemán settlement. To manage public health following recent rains, the city deployed workers for debris clearance and organized waste collection jornadas to prevent pest infestations. Additionally, local authorities investigated reports of gas-like odors, determining they were caused by sewage gases from drainage repairs.

Recent developments include the official inauguration of renovated community facilities in the Miguel Alemán settlement. The Basic Rehabilitation Unit (UBR) underwent a 1.11 million peso renovation in partnership with the Mexican Chamber of the Construction Industry (CMIC), featuring new bathrooms, an electric door, furniture renewal, roof waterproofing, and a training room. The UBR currently serves an average of 30 patients per week. Additionally, the Subprocuraduría for the Protection of the Rights of Children, Adolescents, and Older Adults adapted a new children’s area to support its legal and psychological services.

Urban maintenance continues through the General Directorate of Infrastructure Development (DGDI), which is conducting permanent pothole repairs in sectors such as Villa Bonita, El Malecón, Villa de Seris, and Los Naranjos. Concurrently, a temporary employment program is coordinating with Municipal Public Services to perform street cleaning, weed removal, and maintenance of public spaces, including cemeteries and major boulevards like Gómez Farías and Antonio Quiroga.
