Puerto Morelos, Q.R. — Aguakan says they are moving forward with phase 3 of the Zetina Gasca wastewater project. The finished project will strengthen the health infrastructure in Puerto Morelos.
Aguakan reports 70 percent progress on the Zetina Gasca project, a strategic project with an investment of over 34 million pesos.
Project construction began in December 2025 and aims to further optimize wastewater conveyance and treatment processes, as well as strengthen the operational efficiency and sustainability of the system in the city.
For its development, the project is structured into three main components:
In the first project, work is currently underway on the Zetina Gasca Outfall which involves the installation of more than 2,500 linear meters of 20-inch and 6-inch pipe.
Over 2,400 meters have already been laid along Timón Avenue. This phase, scheduled for completion in May, will channel the water flow to the Villas Morelos IV Wastewater Treatment Plant for reinjection into the subsoil at a depth of more than 100 meters.
This is part of a sustainable process that closes the water cycle and returns water to the aquifer in a responsible and sustainable manner.
The second maneuver corresponds to the construction of a sump in the Zetina Gasca neighborhood, which shows significant progress in its civil, mechanical and electrical components, consolidating itself as a key facility for the comprehensive management of wastewater.
Finally, as a third project, the construction of a collector in the aforementioned neighborhood is planned, intended for the collection and transfer of wastewater to the sump, which allows for continued proper conveyance within the system and contributes to the operational and functional continuity of the process.
“This project strengthens the water infrastructure of Puerto Morelos and continues to expand the sewer system’s capacity to meet its growth. It is being planned in stages and in coordination with the authorities,” stated Jorge Rosas Ortega, Works Coordinator for Aguakan in Puerto Morelos.
The completed project will benefit more than 11,000 residents in Puerto Morelos.
