Colonies of Nuevo León are left without water in the middle of the heat wave

In different areas of the municipality of Santa Catarina, in Nuevo León, residents have been without water for 4 days.

The third wave of extreme heat with temperatures above 40 degrees has had to be faced by the inhabitants of Nuevo León without a single drop of water. In different neighborhoods of the municipality of Santa Catarina and García, where the population exceeds 300 thousand inhabitants, they reported that the failure is widespread, because the reports arise from different areas.

“We are still without water, Government of Santa Catarina, Jesús Nava, here in Real del Valle, only came for a couple of hours and left again, please resolve this situation as soon as possible,” commented Fernando, a neighbor. In desperation, purified water has begun to become scarce in convenience stores located in the sectors where the problem is reported.

Tanks in Nuevo León are dry

“Well, in López Mateos, in the Perimetral Norte area, it has not arrived at any time,” stated Liliana Ovalle on the municipal government’s social networks. Alberto, a resident of the Misión de las Villas neighborhood, a residential area located in the Cerro de las Mitras area, said that despite the contingency, the community water tanks provided by the municipal government headed by interim mayor Iván Medrano are dry. .

“It is incredible and at the same time annoying, I already went to the water tanks in López (Mateos) and they are empty, I went to the ones here in the neighborhood on De Las Palmeras Avenue and another one in the park area and they are also dry,” he mentioned. .

Images circulated on social networks showing how a group of neighbors draw water in order to supply themselves, in the Lomas de Santa Catarina neighborhood.

There are 4 days without water in areas of Nuevo León

The municipal administration reported that it maintains operations to fill buckets and drums for the affected neighbors, but it has been insufficient. The problem dates back to last Wednesday night, when an electrical storm was reported, the gusts of winds allegedly damaged the electrical system of the distribution network.

And even though three days have passed, the situation has not been resolved. “Today (Saturday), at least he arrived for a couple of hours, we thought he had already left, but no, he left again,” said an inhabitant of the Fama IV neighborhood.

In García, Nuevo León, the situation is just as dramatic; there are many neighborhoods where their inhabitants are without a single drop of drinking water. Agua y Dranaje de Monterrey has not reported the current situation; on its social networks the most recent thing it shared was a denial of a publication that talked about scheduled outages.
