Residents in eight neighborhoods across Puerto Vallarta are bracing for a temporary halt in their drinking water supply this Tuesday. The announcement comes from the city’s water management authority, Seapal Vallarta, which cites essential repair work on the pumping line in Gallery 3 as the cause for the disruption.
Beginning at 10:00 AM and extending until 11:00 PM, residents in Altavista, Emiliano Zapata, Las Canoas, El Caloso, Centro, 5 de Diciembre, Lázaro Cárdenas, and Olimpia will be impacted by the temporary suspension. These neighborhoods collectively house thousands of families, all of whom will need to make alternative arrangements for their water needs during this period.
In a statement issued by Seapal Vallarta, the organization acknowledges the inconvenience caused by the disruption and extends appreciation for the understanding and cooperation of affected residents and local businesses. As a proactive measure, residents are encouraged to store adequate water beforehand and ensure that their cisterns and water tanks are prepared to mitigate any potential inconvenience during the outage.
The announcement serves as a reminder of the critical infrastructure maintenance necessary to uphold the city’s water supply system, highlighting the collaborative efforts required from both authorities and residents to navigate such disruptions effectively.
