The objectives of the definitional mission were to evaluate the municipal services for: garbage treatment; traffic and transportation; storm drainage, collection and treatment of wastewater; and water supply. The city provides a good garbage collection service, but the treatment of the garbage at the landfill is improper and conducive to air pollution and surface groundwater contamination. The situation was acknowledged by the Mexican government; and they are in the process of identifying a more adequate location for a landfill. In order to increase efficiency of garbage collection, the construction of a transfer station is contemplated. The congested traffic situation is the result of poor management of public transportation services and inadequate maintenance of streets and buses. A study has led to the improvement of the public transportation services and new traffic patterns. A study has been developed to improve the flooding situation and two new channels are being constructed. Sufficient water supply is being ensured by the building of a new aqueduct.
