Overview

  • A $450,000 pilot on the Derivación San Antonio in Mexico City recovered 70 liters per second, cutting consumption about 25% and benefiting roughly 65,000 residents.
  • Amazon confirmed $2.45 million for the capital, including $2 million to automate the Santa Lucía branch, with a projected recovery of about 300 liters per second for more than 250,000 people.
  • The initiative applies real-time monitoring on AWS, automated valves, pressure modulation and leak detection to curb losses that officials say top 40% in the capital’s network.
  • Rollouts are planned in Querétaro and Monterrey, with Xylem supporting pressure management and Aquestia providing valves and controllers across 11 district metered areas in Querétaro.
  • Recovered water in Mexico City will be routed to the El Judío trifurcation to bolster supply for underserved eastern neighborhoods.
