Mexico City water agency repairs leaks, inspects major crack

Mexico City's Secretariat for Integral Water Management (Segiagua) has successfully repaired five water leaks, two of reused water and three of potable water, along José Loreto Fabela Avenue in the Gustavo A. Madero delegation. The repairs addressed leaks between avenues 510 and 508, ensuring continued water supply to the area without significant disruption.

Segiagua also reported detecting two additional leaks, one potable and one reused water, which are currently undergoing repair. Concurrently, inspections continue to identify any further damage to the hydraulic infrastructure. The Secretariat of Integral Risk Management and Civil Protection (SGIRPC) has been assessing a significant crack in the San Juan de Aragón area. This crack extends approximately 750 meters from avenue 510 to 508 and has an identifiable depth of 1.3 meters.

Authorities attribute the formation of this crack to a combination of natural factors. These include the site's inherent characteristics, such as its lacustrine subsoil, gradual ground subsidence, and the area's susceptibility to flooding. The SGIRPC is collaborating with the Secretariat of Works and Services and the local delegation to finalize the rehabilitation of the affected roadway.

To ensure public safety and prevent traffic congestion, Segiagua urges the public and motorists to avoid the work area, follow official instructions, and respect the cordoned-off zones. The agency remains in constant communication with other relevant authorities to manage the situation effectively.
