Overview

• Conagua data put the Cutzamala system at 92% capacity, its highest level since November 2018 when it reached 98.9%.
• Segiagua’s Mario Esparza projects the system could exceed 95% by late November and possibly reach 100%, with higher allocations expected for Mexico City and the State of Mexico.
• Mexico City launched six Agua Bienestar potable-water plants producing about 12,000 jugs per day at 5 pesos, serving roughly 400 neighborhoods and more than 250,000 residents.
• Service has improved in vulnerable areas, including Iztapalapa where daily supply reportedly rose from around 5 to 13 hours, while leak control efforts in Milpa Alta recovered an estimated 30–40 liters per second.
• The 2025 rainy season set five precipitation records in under 90 days, flooding thousands of homes and disrupting Metro, Metrobús and airport operations as deep drainage ran at capacity with reinforced pumping; commentary urges scaling urban rain capture.
