El Jalapeño: Guadalajara residents to receive contaminated water at ‘very affordable rates,’ state officials say

Guadalajara residents will receive contaminated water with a rust-colored hue, gritty texture, and metallic aroma at 80% off the standard rate, per a Jalisco state Congress-approved policy. The Intermunicipal System of Potable Water and Sewerage Services (SIAPA) claims the discount reflects a consumer-first framework where prices scale with water quality.
