Rigoberto Felix Diaz, General Manager of the Mazatlán Municipal Board for Water and Sewer (Jumapam), said that Jumapam intends to spend 400 million pesos ($30.8 million) in each of the next four years (2015-2018) to replace the entire drainage network in the city.
He noted that to accomplish this Jumapam would need to add an additional 100 million pesos ($7.7 million) a year to its annual budget.
Felix Diaz said Jumapam was receiving 100 reports a day on various problems dealing with the city’s drinking water or sewer system.
He said the first priority is to fix the city sewer and drainage system, as more than 20 percent of the system needs emergency repairs.
The General Manager said what Jumapam is proposing spending 400 million pesos ($30.8 million) a year from a variety of resources to generate the 2.6 billion pesos ($200 million) required to replace the entire old pipe throughout the city.
