Responding to the growing demand for the service in the Cancun Hotel Zone and with the aim of keeping the infrastructure in optimal condition, Aguakan started the work to relocate the wastewater collector and emitter at Km. 11.5 of the Cancun Hotel Zone.
The project consists of the installation of more than 140 meters of 12 and 18 inch pipes which will connect to the new Pirámides Wastewater Tank.
