Cozumel, Quintana Roo — Cozumel will add 25 new wells to strengthen the island’s drinking water supply, with 17 already in service and the remaining eight scheduled to come online on Thursday, Governor Mara Lezama Espinosa said.
The new infrastructure expands the island’s water extraction and supply capacity. Cozumel currently operates 134 wells, which will be joined by the new equipment installed in the catchment zone.
The work, carried out through the Drinking Water and Sewerage Commission (CAPA), included drilling wells to a depth of 15 meters, installing submersible pumps, laying hydraulic conveyance lines, and upgrading electrical and control systems.
Meeting Demand From Residents and Tourism
Officials said the expansion is intended to meet demand for drinking water from Cozumel families and to keep pace with population growth and the island’s tourism activity.
Lezama, who was accompanied by municipal president José Luis Chacón, said the wells respond to a request from island residents seeking better service.
