Leachate Water at the Puerto Vallarta Landfill Site to be Treated

What is Leachate?
Sometimes, it is not possible to stop all of the contaminants from coming into a landfill. The water — even rainwater — with dissolved contaminants that slips through the trash is called “leachate,” and it is acidic. Part of landfill management requires collecting, containing and treating the leachate to protect surface and groundwater in areas near the landfill.
