President Claudia Sheinbaum announced the definitive cancellation of the La Parota hydroelectric dam project in Acapulco, Guerrero, due to its impact on local communities.
During a rally at the Polideportivo Cici Renacimiento in Acapulco, Sheinbaum stated that the project begun by the Federal Electricity Commission in 2003 will no longer proceed.
Instead, the government is building radial wells and high tanks to supply water to the city by gravity. The president explained that these works replace the canceled project and help deliver water to the neighborhoods.
Sheinbaum also mentioned sanitation and desilting work on rivers after hurricanes Otis and John. She recently supervised the new wells and noted that pumps are protected with high towers.
