Overview
- CAEV stopped pumping from the Poza Rica intake at 06:00 Friday after oil was observed on the Río Cazones near the Corralillos capture point.
- The suspension has left parts of the city without service, and the utility urged residents to ration water and follow official updates on restoration.
- Pemex reported ongoing cleanup along the riverbanks and reinforced oleophilic barriers at the CAEV intake to contain the sheen.
- Authorities say the origin of the hydrocarbon remains unknown and requested Pemex’s support for containment and remediation efforts.
- Following October floods, residents in Álamo Temapache report damaged crops and contaminated wells and say compensation demands to the state oil company have gone unanswered.
