Tamaulipas Starts Second Aqueduct Line to Secure Ciudad Victoria’s Water Supply

Federal support under the Plan Nacional Hídrico targets chronic rationing with capacity gains designed to cover roughly five decades.

Overview

  • Governor Américo Villarreal Anaya and Conagua director Efraín Morales López signed a collaboration agreement and launched construction on August 28.
  • The new line spans 54.7 kilometers with 36‑inch carbon‑steel pipe, adding about 750 liters per second to the city’s roughly 1,500 l/s supply.
  • The project carries an investment of about 1,800 million pesos and is projected to secure service for approximately 50 years for some 350,000 residents.
  • A complementary state-built water treatment plant of 1,500 l/s capacity is underway with a budget just over 600 million pesos.
  • The initiative is part of the national water program, with officials citing broader federal support including 10 billion pesos for irrigation upgrades and more than 450 million pesos via FAIS for over 400 water projects statewide.
