The Cutzamala System will reduce water supply in CDMX and Edomex
Authorities in Mexico City and the State of Mexico have announced a new reduction in the water supply from the Cutzamala System. This measure will take effect starting Friday, May 17, and will affect millions of citizens in the Valley of Mexico metropolitan area.
The Cutzamala System is one of the most important supply sources for the region. However, due to the scarcity of rain and low storage levels in the dams, officials have decided to adjust the amount of liquid distributed daily. The primary goal is to ensure that the resource is not completely depleted before rainfall regularizes.
This decision will impact several of the capital's boroughs and various municipalities in the State of Mexico. Authorities explained that the cut is a necessary preventive action, as the system's current levels are significantly lower than the historical average recorded in previous years for this same period.
In light of this situation, the government recommends that the population take urgent measures to save water in their homes. Simple actions such as reducing shower time, reusing washing machine water for other tasks, and repairing any pipe leaks can help mitigate the impact of this service reduction.
Finally, authorities will continue to monitor the situation of the dams and will keep the public informed of any additional changes to the supply. Residents are asked to stay alert to official communications and to use water responsibly and mindfully over the coming weeks to address this water crisis.
