While President Enrique Peña Nieto was in Mazatlán Tuesday and Wednesday Mazatlán mayor Carlos Felton González took the opportunity to ask for 2 billion pesos for the city.
Felton said he met with David Korenfeld Federman, the Director of the National Water Commission (Conagua), to request Conagua’s support for sanitation and drainage projects totaling 600 million pesos ($45.5 million), and another 500 million pesos ($38 million) to start the Miravalles Aqueduct, needed to bring water from the Picacho Mazatlán dam to the municipality.
He added that he was the last to talk to the president as he boarded his plane back to México City and took that opportunity to tell Peña Nieto that the municipality needs 900 million pesos ($68.5 million) to fund construction projects necessary to stop the flooding the city experiences every rainy season.
He said that president was aware of that need, as the Secretary of the Interior had already brief him on the flooding problem in Mazatlán.
