The government of Puerto Vallarta had more than a year to expand the North Collector and avoid the rupture that occurred last week causing contamination of beaches and the Estero El Salado.
Several inspections had already warned of a possible collapse due to the growing construction of condominiums in the Emiliano Zapata neighborhood and an aging drainage network, warnings that the government chose to ignore.
Local environmentalists accused the three government agencies of being responsible for the severe damage caused to the Natural Protected Area (ANP) to the El Salado estuary by the collapse of the central-north collector 10 . . .
