Tuesday, Dec. 7 This may include the island as well as the mainland part of Isla Mujeres. This morning, Aguakan announced that water outages or low pressure may affect the listed neighborhoods today, due to electrical work in the Catchment Area. Most businesses and residences have rooftop 'tinacas' which carry them through, with conservation, as well as everyone having bottled water on hand routinely.
Monday, the Mayor inaugurated four new trash-collection trucks, each with a capacity of five tons. These trucks will replace the larger ones that have been in use, which were useful for catching up on collecting the amount of trash that had accumulated in the streets. Those will be put into service on the mainland part of the municipality at Punta Sam, Costa Mujeres and Ciudad Mujeres. These are more suited to the narrow streets of the island.
IM Noticias reports that the driver of this one-car accident survived and was taken to Cancun for treatment. It says the car knocked the post down in the early hours of Monday, Dec. 6th, near the Naval base, and caused an electrical outage in that area. Personnel with Civil Protection and the municipal Police Department came to the scene.
