Sofía Medeles(Ajijic).– Residents of La Cristina, a neighborhood located to the west of Ajijic, denounced the lack of cleanup work after the mudslides of October 2021.
The complaints are mainly related to the silting of the creek on Las Garzas Street, in addition to the pruning work carried out 15 days ago by Federal Electricity Commission (CFE) personnel, which left the branches in the creek.
Other problems mentioned by affected residents were the spillage of sewage into the stream, and the encroachment on private property of debris from the landslide left by state cleanup crews after clearing.
«They have not cleaned the street well, nor the creek. With the sewage spill and the garbage dump left by the CFE workers, it is obvious that they do not pay attention to this side of town,» commented one of the inhabitants of La Cristina.
The person in charge of the office, Maximiliano Macias Arceo, acknowledged responsibility and said that they had been made aware of the problems from complaints that they have received.
«We are aware of the encroachment of debris on private property, as well as in the creek. In the next few days, we will carry out the necessary survey to file an official report so that crews and equipment will be sent to clean La Cristina, as well as the many streams that need to be cleared in the western zone of the township. We are going to work fast, to ensure that the creeks are cleared before the rainy season arrives to prevent further tragedy,» shared Macías Arceo.
Finally, regarding the sewage spill, Macías Arceo gave assurances that both he and the Department of Ecology are already attending to the problem. He also provided the telephone number that the public can use to report complaints of this type: 376-765-8025.
