Overview
- Federal authorities propose returning exclusive authority over water concessions to the State, ending transfers between private parties to curb hoarding and black‑market sales.
- Conagua says the land–water link is preserved, with inheritance and property sales keeping concession titles with the same volume, use and term for the new holder.
- The plan strengthens enforcement and efficiency by banning discretionary changes of use, tightening anti‑theft procedures, creating a National Water Reserve Fund, promoting technified irrigation and regulating rainwater capture with a public register.
- Construction begins on the Agua para Colima project: a roughly 21‑kilometer aqueduct funded with about 1.78 billion pesos to nearly double supply for 30 years, including an 800 l/s treatment plant and two 15,000 m3 storage tanks serving around 240,000 residents.
- Producer roadblocks continue after talks with the Interior Ministry ended without agreement, and President Sheinbaum accuses some users of profiting by selling concession water to municipalities as the bill heads to the Chamber of Deputies.
