Hydrocarbons in Water Supply: Mexico City

Fate has dealt a sinister card to the citizens of Mexico's capital. A crisis unleashed by negligence and opacity, where water, the source of life, has turned into poison, destroying the hope of thousands. Authorities, with their typical bureaucratic disdain, have chosen to cover the truth under a shroud of secrecy, as if the truth could wait while suffering spreads like cancer through the city's veins.

At the heart of this tragedy lies the Mexico City Water System (Sacmex), whose response to contamination in the Benito Juárez borough has been a dance of concealment and silence.

According to sources like “El País,” crucial information about water quality has been withheld for three long years. Do they expect the contamination to disappear over time? This is not a problem that can wait in the shadows of bureaucracy; it is an emergency requiring immediate action.

Residents of different neighborhoods in the Benito Juárez borough have reported the poor quality of water reaching their homes on social media and neighborhood groups, describing it as having an unpleasant odor and greasy appearance. Refusing to sit idly by, they decided to take action by sending samples to certified laboratories for analysis. Universities also conducted studies on the issue.

What they revealed was a bitter truth: the water flowing through their taps is contaminated with a toxic soup of carcinogenic chemicals such as chloroform, dichlorobenzene, and trichloroethylene.

Authorities are advising affected residents to avoid drinking tap water, to refrain from boiling it, and to minimize its use whenever possible.

However, during this hot season and amidst the water scarcity crisis, this is a challenging task.

Given this scenario, wouldn't you like to live with the peace of mind of not relying on the local water supply? Is that even possible?

With The Cloud, it certainly is. Generate your own high-quality water from the air and forget about consuming water contaminated with hydrocarbons.
