José María Morelos, Q.R. — Machinery to dig much needed wells for residents in Candelaria has arrived. José María Morelos Mayor Erik Borges Yam says the wells will bring water to a school so students can flush toilets.
The provision of potable water is essential to transform the lives of families in rural communities, therefore, the mayor of José María Morelos, Erik Borges Yam, enabled this vital service in the Colegio de Bachilleres, Plantel Candelaria.
Yam says the service will directly benefit more than 130 students as well as teachers, parents and the community in general with the drilling of a well.
“We want to thank our mayor on behalf of the entire school community for the commitment he made and that we see today is being fulfilled. They are already starting to dig. We have the machinery and they are making the well and very soon we will have this resource of drinking water for everyone.
“We talked with him about the need to make a water well, since during the dry season, the town does not have the resource and the bathrooms are used continuously because we do not have this hydraulic resource, we are left with dirty bathrooms,” said Paul Gonzales Aguilar, the Director of Colegio de Bachilleres.
“We spoke with the mayor and he agreed to support the entire community benefiting 130 students so that at no time will we be left without water. We will be offering this service to the entire school community,” he said.

Mayor Borges Yam said the most important thing for his government is attention to the people through support programs, projects and actions that transform the lives of the people without distinction.
“We double our efforts so that more benefits reach everyone. For this government, the people are and always will be, first. Today the beginning of the drilling of this well is a reality. Never again will rural communities be abandoned as in past administrations. Now the change is noticeable,” he said.
