Aguakan Builds Six New Manholes to Strengthen Sanitary Sewer System in Playa del Carmen
Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo — Aguakan, the concessionaire operating in four municipalities of Quintana Roo, is building six new manholes to strengthen the sanitary sewer system in Playa del Carmen.
Manholes are underground structures that provide access to sewer pipes for inspection, cleaning, and maintenance. They also help detect potential blockages or damage before they become major problems.
Having this type of infrastructure is key to keeping the system in good condition, as it facilitates monitoring and operation of the sanitary sewer network. It also ensures that wastewater flows properly to the corresponding collectors, reducing the risk of leaks or spills.
With a more modern and better-supervised network, the company aims to prevent contaminated water from reaching the soil, sea, or local ecosystems — a critical concern for a coastal city like Playa del Carmen.
