Mazatlán mayor, Carlos Felton, told reporters following a closed door meeting with the Board of Directors of the Municipal Water and Sewer Board (Jumapam), that he will propose to the state’s Congress that the water rates be increased.
Guillermo Romero Rodriguez, one of the directors of Jumapam, said, “An increase of 30 percent in our revenues would provide the additional 100 million pesos that are needed next year for infrastructure projects for drainage issues. That would provide us virtually new facilities in El Centro, where we have more problems and the area that needs to be repaired, it is a five-year project, of 400 million pesos per year.”
The mayor noted that Mazatlán has very low water rates when compared to other municipalities in the state and throughout México.
It has been two years since Jumapam increased its rates.
