Due to the delicate water situation affecting the city, the Municipal Executive Department, together with the Decentralized Entity of Sanitary Works (EDOS), has declared a State of Water Emergency for a period of 90 days regarding the use of drinking water.
This measure is based on the heat wave affecting Concordia, which is increasing the consumption of drinking water, causing a serious risk to the normal operation of the water treatment plant and posing a detriment to the entire population.
Given this situation, it is necessary to prioritize the use of water for human consumption and food preparation, prohibiting, for the duration of the measure, throughout the city's jurisdiction, the washing of sidewalks outside of what is established by current Ordinances, the watering of streets with drinking water, the filling and draining of swimming pools and/or wading pools, the washing of motor vehicles, the washing of house fronts, the discharge of water onto public roads, and the cleaning and/or disinfection of water tanks and/or cisterns without prior municipal authorization.
Likewise, an increase in the number of inspections is ordered, aimed at verifying the correct and appropriate use of drinking water, as well as strict compliance with the restrictions established herein; to this effect, EDOS may take the measures it deems pertinent.
Furthermore, businesses, industries, clubs, recreational centers, and all those with high consumption levels are requested to reduce the use of drinking water as much as possible.
All dependencies of the Municipal Executive Department are authorized to take the precautions they deem pertinent in order to assist the population during days of extreme heat, allowing for the performance of additional tasks beyond those usually carried out, and all those expenses and contracts that are necessary to ensure the provision and supply of drinking water throughout the municipal jurisdiction.
