On
Monday, July 29, tap water service will be suspended to the colonias of
Aeropuerto, Salina Chica, Ampliación La Gloria, Carretera Perimetral,
Fovissste, Bachilleres, Santa Rosa, Salina Grande, Caridad del Cobre,
& Lol Beh. Aguakan is replacing a pipeline for the
eastern network, which will begin Monday morning and is expected to
conclude during the night. After the work is finished, these
neighborhoods will experience low pressure while it is gradually
regulated to avoid cracks in the lines and for monitoring to ensure
optimal operation of the new network.
Residents
are advised to conserve water on Monday and to store it in advance where
necessary, in order to have a supply until the work is completed.
Customers can contact Aguakan at 073 for more information. (This is
translated from the official Aguakan FB site)

From the City....
There are 20-25 children between the ages of 6 & 12 enjoying the summer day camp "Cultural and Inclusive Summer Course" offered by the City which began July 10th. With cultural learning, the children are participating in activities to encourage tolerance, empathy, and friendship, as well as learning to relate to people with different capabilities, always with an attitude of respect. They've had sign language classes, they made jellies with senior citizens, and they have practiced reading by reading a book a day, and making a drawing. There is still time to register, for free, for the day camp which will conclude on August 3rd.
Aguakan notice about Monday's water suspension (see above).

City officials had a meeting with Aguakan regarding the effects their work is having on the southern part of the Caribbean coastal road, emphasizing that the 3 kilometer stretch must be repaved, and not just filled in and patched where the connections and lines were installed.
Baseball tournament for southeast region
Torneo de beisbol del Sureste
This information has already been translated, with the tournament taking place in Isla Mujeres August 8-11, with two teams per state from Tabasco, Campeche, Yucatan, and Quintana Roo.Fire in a restaurant
Fuego en un restaurante
A short circuit at Seso Loco's restaurant caused a small fire, that didn't become major, according to officials with Civil Protection, who placed temporary closure seals on the restaurant because its certification documents were not up to date. It appeared that the electrical installation was poor and caused the short circuit and fire.The official said the damage was minor, with some burnt wood, but the business will need to update its documents, in compliance with protocols for the installation of electric and LP gas, & complete the corresponding procedures before reopening.
Water suspension on Monday along eastern side of the isle
No habrá agua el próximo lunes
See notice at top of page. This article says Aguakan will be updating 450 linear meters of the tap water line on the east side of the airfield on Monday. The area to be renovated is where the six-inch line broke last Monday, interrupting service for several hours until it was repaired. Due to its condition, the entire section will be replaced from the pumping station to the area of the CFE power plant that is next to the runway.In recent days, there has been digging and preparation of the land, and the high-resistance pipes are nearby, ready to be installed.
