CIUDAD JUAREZ – This year, the Municipal Water and Sanitation Board (JMAS) dedicated to the replacement of collectors US$5.8 million, a figure that covers only 10% of what is needed to address the problem.

In a statement, JMAS informed that during 2019, work will be carried out in three collectors, in which an investment of US$5.8 million is projected, benefiting more than 106,000 Juarenses.

JMAS Director Jorge Domínguez Cortés said that at least US$104 million is needed to repair the most urgent collectors.
