Mexico City.- For the rest of fiscal year 2025, the mayor’s office Cuajimalpa —demarcation directed by Carlos Orvañanos Rea— allocated an amount of more than 22 million pesos in the lease of water pipes to guarantee supply. However, this municipality, along with 12 others, are supplied directly from the Cutzamala System, which is almost full.
According to the contract contained in folio ACM-DGAF-SVS-033-2025, the General Directorate of Works and Urban Development required the leasing of truck equipment – type pipes – for the supply of drinking water in various points of the mayor’s office. Cuajimalpa. The total amount was 22 million 999 thousand 974 pesos for 99 thousand cubic meters of the vital liquid.
The contract was awarded directly to the company Asencio Arquitectura, Construction y Servicios, SA de CV, which has its tax domicile in the State of Mexico. Each cubic meter of water is equivalent to about a thousand liters.
Despite the generous acquisition of the natural resource, the points referred to in the contract concluded between the parties only referred to the colonies of Acopilco, La Pila, Xalpa and San Mateo. The rest of the Cuajimalpa colonies were basically “out of the game.”
In one of the annexes to the instrument, it was also detailed that additional coverage would be applied in the event that there was a shortage or irregular supply in other points of the mayor’s office not previously mentioned.
However, the investment of resources draws attention because the Cuajimalpa mayor’s office is far from being an entity known for water shortages – as is the case of Iztapalapa, Tláhuac or Xochimilco. Even, Cuajimalpa It is part of the 13 entities that are supplied directly from the Cutzamala System, which was almost completely filled during the rainy season.
