In the second week of February, there will be a scheduled water cut that will affect hundreds of Mexican families.

The State Commission of Public Services of Ensenada (CESPE), in the state of Baja California, scheduled a mega-cut of drinking water in February, which will affect at least 92 neighborhoods of that municipality, which will impact the access to this service for more than 150,000 people.

Get the drums out! If you live in one of the neighborhoods affected by the water cut, you should take the necessary precautions to preserve this essential liquid for various daily tasks.

Where will there be water cuts in Mexico in February? Key dates

Through a statement, CESPE reported that the water cut is due to interconnection works in the Morelos aqueduct, which are part of a maintenance and modernization plan of the water network to improve distribution in the medium and long term.

  • The mega water cut will take place from Wednesday, February 11, to February 14.

However, the recovery of the supply to the families of Ensenada will be gradual, so it is expected that the service will be normalized by Thursday, February 19.
