Business owners in the Zona Dorada, who have complained for years to Jumapam about fetid odours and spewing sewage from manhole covers in the streets outside their shops and restaurants, arrived at work Wednesday to find their streets blocked and Jumapam employees hard at work.
Jumapam assistant manager of distribution, Henry Cruz Hernández, stated repairs in the Zona Dorada presented complications in that there are many restaurants and hotels in the zone with grease traps that overflow into a drainage system that is more than 25 years old.
Nonetheless, Jumapam is investing 61,600 pesos in repairing drainage and sewage ducts on Calle Garza and 385,000 pesos for Av. Playa Gaviotas in the Golden Zone. Cruz Hernández did not specify when the work will be completed.
In other areas of the city, Jumapam is working in Parque Bonfil and Calle Cedros in Colonia Jacarandas to repair urgent leaks.
In Parque Bonfil, 50 meters of 12 inch concrete pipes will be replaced. The ancient pipes are a conduit for industrial discharges from freezer plants, said the assistant manager, and the water is very hot. He expects the repairs to be completed by this weekend at a cost of 350,000 pesos.
Residents of Fracccionamiento Jacarandas had complained earlier this week to Jumapam that sewage water full of worms was flooding their streets requiring urgent attention and that Jumapam was not responding to their complaints. Workers are now on site, said Cruz Hernández and the 297,000 peso repairs are slated to be completed by Monday.
Two other major repairs will begin soon, he added: one in Lomas de Mazatlán and a second in Av. Gabriel Leyva between Josefa Ortiz de Domínguez and San Luis de Potosí streets.
In less than a month the Mazatlán water department has received more than 400 reports of running sewage in city streets a result, said the Jumapam assistant manager, of rain from hurricanes Norbert and Odile and aging infrastructure.
