The mayor of Tlalpan, Gaby Osoriowill present in its First Government Report the results of the new water management model that its administration has implemented during the last year. This model has as its central axis the creation of the first Water Cabinet at the mayoral level, a team that meets every day at 7:30 in the morning to supervise, correct and coordinate actions in real time and in a coordinated manner with the Government of Mexico City.
In this context, Osorio recognized that this daily supervision model makes it possible to improve distribution in various neighborhoods and towns, by providing timely monitoring of tanks, wells and valves, and correcting failures that in previous administrations could take weeks without being attended to. “The issue of water is no longer addressed by isolated reports: we address it every day, with clear responsible parties and with immediate decisions.”
From this new coordination, the Mayor’s Office Tlalpan managed to double the repair of leaks through the Tlalpando Fugas program, which went from 2,114 repairs in 2024 to 5,418 in 2025, which represents an increase of 156.2% in operational efficiency. Furthermore, in collaboration with SEGIAGUA, more than 100 non-visible leaks were detected and attended to, an intervention that allowed supply to be stabilized in several affected areas.
This operational effort was complemented by an unprecedented investment in hydraulic infrastructure. Thanks to joint work with the Government of Mexico City, an investment of close to 200 million pesos is being carried out to improve the efficiency of tanks and wells, in addition to strengthening distribution capacity. At the same time, the mayor’s office allocated a specific budget for drainage work and hydraulic networks with a territorial approach, privileging areas where the lack of maintenance had led to accumulated risks.
In this same period, the Tlalpan Mayor’s Office, upon instructions from the mayor Osorio addressed one of the most complex challenges: the 2025 rainy season. For the first time, the “Cubascos 24/7” operation was implemented, a continuous attention scheme that divided the mayor’s office into nine polygons, each with a general director in charge and an immediate response operational team. With this model, 28 colonies at risk were protected, 41 km of drainage was cleared, 150 drains were attended to, and 163 emergencies generated by storms, runoff, and floods were responded to.
Mayor Osorio highlighted that these advances would not be possible without the coordinated work with the Government of the Mexico City and the leadership of the head of government Clara Brugadawith whom—he said—a shared route is maintained to face the challenges in water matters with long-term technical, budgetary and operational decisions.
He stressed that collaboration with various agencies has been vital for these tasks. “Water is not resolved in isolation; it requires daily, coordinated and sustained work. In Tlalpan “We move forward because we have allies and because we are aligned with a city project that understands the urgency of guaranteeing this right.”
At the same time, and in this same context of the annual report, it is highlighted that the administration managed to eliminate the corruption that pervaded the pipe system, reducing the waiting time from more than 60 days to less than 5 days, a change that Osorio He described it as “a transformation of basic justice for thousands of families.”
The mayor stressed that all these results are part of a comprehensive strategy that combines daily supervision, investment, territoriality and inter-institutional coordination.
“Tlalpan needed a water policy based on facts and not promises. Today we have a model that corrects, cares and prevents. And most importantly: a model that listens to the territories.”
These advances will be officially presented on November 29 during the First Government Report, a space where the new water approach promoted this year will be explained in detail: a model based on daily attention, inter-institutional coordination and structural solutions to reduce risks, improve supply and strengthen infrastructure.
The presentation will not only report on the results obtained, but will also outline the route that the demarcation will follow to consolidate a water policy with a long-term vision and sustained benefits for its inhabitants.
