Operación Caudal in Mexico State led to the closure of 189 properties used for illegal water extraction, without disrupting household supplies. The operation, however, triggered protests by water truck operators and transporters who blocked the Mexico-Querétaro highway on October 29, 2025. Governor Delfina Gómez defended the action as a step toward equitable water regulation.
Water purification plants in CDMX and Edomex suspend services due to well closures
Several water purification businesses in Mexico City and the State of Mexico have suspended services due to well closures in Operativo Caudal. Federal and state authorities secured dozens of wells accused of illegal water extraction, sparking protests and blockades by workers and pipers. The closures have left purification plants without raw materials, disrupting distribution in the area.
