Overview
- Authorities have launched a 683 million–peso modernization to extend the system’s life about 20 years and secure supply for roughly 5 million residents in the Valley of Mexico.
- Conagua’s 2025 actions earmarked 447 million pesos to renew 10 spherical valves, seven rotors and four 1,700‑liters‑per‑second pumping units.
- The large valves are being custom‑built in Asia with an estimated 24‑month fabrication period before installation.
- The control center is migrating to a SCADA platform with a 157 million–peso budget, reported at about 20% progress and slated for completion in 2026 to strengthen remote operation and emergency response.
- Officials say work will avoid service interruptions, and OCAVM’s Citlalli Peraza reports water supply is guaranteed for the next two years as upgrades proceed; the complex spans 225 km, lifts water up to 1,100 meters and incurs about 3 billion pesos in annual electricity costs.
