Something Smells: Persistent Sewage Leaks in Puerto Vallarta’s Romantic Zone

Puerto Vallarta (PVDN) - Persistent sewage leaks in Puerto Vallarta remain a major stumbling block for the existing city administration, particularly when such incidents take place in tourist hotspots, like the intersection of Basilio Badillo and Insurgentes in the Romantic Zone.

Countless complaints have been lodged from motorists and local business owners at this crucial crossroads, who have called for public attention to the impact on the road caused by continuous wastewater discharge onto public thoroughfares.

Upon visiting the location, CPS Noticias confirmed that the problem has escalated significantly. The potholes, which now resemble trenches, are several centimeters deep. Since they are filled with sewage, not all drivers notice them, adding to the dangers.

Moreover, large stones lie in the road, posing a potential hazard as they could be propelled if a truck were to drive over them, thus increasing the level of risk.

The issue doesn't stop at road safety. Tourists strolling through the area often find themselves sprayed with sewage when vehicles drive past, tarnishing the city's image.

Compounding the problem is the unbearable stench, with the source of the contamination increasing as days go by.

Despite numerous reports to Seapal about the sewage-leaking potholes, there seems to be no end in sight. The authorities appear to be overwhelmed, with no specific timeline for resolution.
