Overview
- A slope collapse in Colonia Ixtlahualtongo late Friday involved roughly 150 cubic meters of earth, blocking residential access.
- Local officials now report four homes directly affected and no injuries or visible structural damage, revising an earlier count of six.
- Crews began work early Saturday with a backhoe and two Bobcats to clear debris and reopen pedestrian passage.
- The incident is linked to a suspected leak in a stormwater intake on Calle Ojo de Agua that softened the slope, with technical risk evaluations ongoing.
- Heavy rains also exposed drainage failures elsewhere in the borough, including a La Malinche flood tied to a trash-clogged cárcamo verified by SEGIAGUA, along with additional minor slides and broader city impacts on transit and a clinic.
