Major Water Failures Strike Mexico: Guadalupe Megafuga Cuts Service, Azcapotzalco Floods Homes

Crews pumped out floodwater in Azcapotzalco and restored service by nightfall after repairing a previously patched duct.

Overview

  • A 48-inch pipe rupture in Guadalupe, Nuevo León forced valve closures and suspended potable water across parts of Guadalupe, Apodaca and San Nicolás.
  • Servicios de Agua y Drenaje de Monterrey published a long list of affected colonies and warned outages could extend beyond 24 hours as repairs continue.
  • Authorities reported no firm timeline for full restoration in Nuevo León, where crews remain on site working to fix the break on Avenida Adolfo López Mateos.
  • In Mexico City, a ruptured line on Antonio Valeriano in Azcapotzalco sent water into at least five homes, with levels reported near 60 centimeters and damage to furniture and appliances.
  • Municipal, Segiagua and Protección Civil teams closed valves, excavated, and used a hydropneumatic truck to remove standing water, with residents later alleging the leak had gone unattended since Saturday.
