Aguakan Nears Completion of Colector Playero Project in Playa del Carmen

Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo — The second stage of Aguakan’s Colector Playero sewer project is in its final phase, the Playa del Carmen water utility said, with completion scheduled for September 2026.

The announcement comes a little more than three months after the formal start of the second stage. Aguakan said the project represents an investment of 2.5 million pesos and, following needs identified during construction, expanded beyond its original scope with the addition of 147 linear meters of 10-inch sanitary pipe and the construction of eight manholes.

Crews are working on 1st Avenida Norte between Calle 10 Norte and Calle 12 Norte, an area that concentrates tourist, hotel, restaurant and commercial activity. Officials said the work is part of a broader effort to gradually reduce the presence of sewage pumping stations along the coastal strip and to keep improving the performance of the drainage network.

The utility said construction required continuous coordination with existing essential services in the area, including fiber optic, electricity and gas lines. Specialized planning was used to protect those underground networks and to keep services running throughout the intervention.

Safety and Coordination

Aguakan said it is maintaining ongoing coordination with municipal authorities and the relevant agencies as the project enters its final stretch. Signage and safety measures remain in place to protect pedestrians, residents, business owners and visitors, and to keep traffic moving through the area during the last stages of work.
