Overview
- On Tuesday, November 10, the government unveiled the Sistema Integral de Telemetría, a platform tied into the C5 del Agua that officials say has helped recover more than 1,800 liters per second through sensorization, automation and leak repairs.
- The 2026 push used about 600 million pesos and sits inside a larger two-year rise in water and drainage funding to roughly 19,000 million pesos to scale monitoring and operations.
- Sensors in the distribution network jumped from roughly 560 in 2024 to about 4,175 in 2026, roughly 300 wells were automated, and the average time to reactivate a failing well fell from six hours to 15 minutes.
- Teams repaired roughly 9,874 visible leaks so far this year and addressed about 480 non-visible leaks, and city leaders have set a 2027 goal to fix 30,000 leaks as part of a longer route to intervene 100,000.
- The platform also tracks water quality readings and drainage data from more than 100 pluviometers and a weather radar while routing citizen reports through Línea H2O, a change officials say should improve local supply equity and reduce the need for further aquifer drilling.
