José Luis Luegemember of the campaign team of the presidential candidate of the PAN, PRI and PRD, Xochitl Galvezreported this Friday in some neighborhoods of the Benito Juárez Mayor’s Office, the smell of gasoline and solvents has been detected in the drinking water.
“We detected smell of gasoline, solvents and oil in the drinking water network in several neighborhoods of the Benito Juárez Mayor’s Office. We urgently ask for the attention of SACMEX CDMX,” the former director of the National Water Commission wrote on his social networks.
Luege, who has warned that Mexico City faces a crisis in the water supply, listed the neighborhoods in which the smell has supposedly been perceived: Christmas Eve, Ciudad de los Deportes, Del Valle Norte, Del Valle Centro, Naples, Tlacoquemécatl , Extremadura and Narvarte.
In response, the Mexico City Water System (SACMEX) pointed out that the organization’s technical and operational personnel continue to work in immediate response to all reports from the area.
Recently, SACMEX responded to various citizen reports regarding the poor quality of water in some neighborhoods of the Benito Juárez Mayor’s Office, and assured that it has carried out an exhaustive analysis to address this problem.
He mentioned that specialized personnel from the SACMEX Central Water Quality Control Laboratory have carried out inspections and taken household samples in neighborhoods such as Nonoalco, Nochebuena, Del Valle and Tlacoquemécatl.
The results obtained rule out any presence of contaminants that represent a risk to public health, complying with the standards established in NOM-127-SSA1-2021, he stressed.
During the inspections, the supply sources in the area were monitored, including wells and distribution tanks. SACMEX pointed out that no anomalies were detected that could compromise the quality of the water supplied through the hydraulic network..
He highlighted that although some samples of water stored in cisterns and water tanks had an odor, this does not affect the quality of the water that reaches home intakes.
He explained that this phenomenon could be related to the storage time and the lack of periodic renewal of water in said tanks.
