MEXICO CITY (apro).-With the support of Martí Batres, head of Government, the head of the Mexico City Water System (Sacmex), Rafael Carmona, stated that the water that reaches the northwestern area of the mayor’s office Benito Juárez has “normal parameters and no odor.”
A month after the residents of at least ten neighborhoods in said district reported contaminants in the water in their homes, the head of Government reported in a conference that 500 cleaning crews have washed 9,380 cisterns and water tanks. However, the president continues without specifying what the contaminant in the water resource is.
He was accompanied by Rafael Carmona, who explained that the “normal and odorless” parameters in the water are indicated by the household intakes reviewed in the last five days, as well as the monitoring that remains in the 13 wells that supply Benito Juárez.
“The mayor’s office did not help at all”
For his part, once again Batres attacked the authorities of the mayor’s office governed by Israel Mata Salas: “He did not provide us with anything, I emphasize, the Benito Juárez Mayor’s Office did not help at all.”
However, he thanked the support of 30 agencies of the Government that he heads, as well as the Secretariat of the Navy (Semar), Secretariat of National Defense (Sedena), National Guard (GN), the Federal Commission for the Protection against Health Risks ( Cofepris), and the municipalities of Iztapalapa, Iztacalco, Gustavo A. Madero, Venustiano Carranza, Milpa Alta, Cuajimalpa, Xochimilco, Tláhuac and Cuauhtémoc.
The local president boasted about the actions taken by the CDMX Government to counteract the crisis:
- Attention to 2,123 public servants from more than 30 agencies of the Government of Mexico City.
