MEXICO CITY AND MILLIONS OF ITS RESIDENTS COULD RUN OUT OF WATER IN WEEKS

The metropolitan area of 22 million gets about a quarter of its water from a
system that is running dry. Some say it could be unable to provide water by June
26.

MEXICO CITY — Raquel Campos’ water issues started in January, when her condo
building’s manager sent residents a message saying that the city hadn’t
delivered water to its cistern. Four days later, taps in the upscale residence
went dry.

Campos has lived in the wealthy Polanco neighborhood for 18 years and said she
has never experienced water issues like this. Her husband paid to shower at a
nearby hotel and she called water delivery companies that were overwhelmed with
a sudden deluge of requests from the neighborhood. The water in Campos’ building
came back within a few days, but with much lower pressure. Water is now
delivered about every two weeks. Each unit has paid to cover the cost,
increasing their monthly condo expenses by 30 percent.
