Ooapas Pushes Repairs, Monitors Rivers, Plans Market Water Project in Morelia

Officials set a goal of reliable service with reduced flood risk.

Overview

  • Ooapas met with vendors at Morelia’s Wholesale Market to map a phased, long-term fix for a long-standing water supply shortfall.
  • The agency reported more than 90% progress on the sewer replacement on Joaquín Pesado in Santa María de Guido, a 335-meter job with 92 new household connections for over 300 residents.
  • Director Adolfo Torres held direct talks with Puerta Madero residents to explain service operations after the local APAS dissolved and to urge users to update contracts to regularize service.
  • During rain checks, staff logged preliminary levels of 50% at Dren Barajas with gates closed and two pumps running in Itzicuáros, 40% at Río Chiquito, and 45% at Río Grande.
  • Ooapas says it is running meteorological stations and round-the-clock monitoring and asks residents to follow official updates and keep trash out of streets to prevent drain clogs.
