Overview
- State water utility CAEV suspended pumping at the Corralillos intake for a second day after detecting oil on the river surface, halting the potable‑water plant.
- Authorities requested Pemex support to identify the source and carry out containment and cleanup, while monitoring continues at the intake site.
- Poza Rica’s mayor said contamination likely came from leaks in Pemex installations in the highlands, as crews deploy Vactor units and emergency measures to manage collapsed drainage.
- Heavy rains from Cold Front No. 16 renewed flooding in Poza Rica, where clogged sewers sent water back into homes, though officials reported no mass evacuations or confirmed fatalities.
- A provisional bridge between Zontecomatlán and Xoxocapa collapsed in the storms, temporarily cutting off rural communities as shelters and relief operations were activated.
