IRAPUATO, Gto.- The theft of metallic sewers is an unfortunate phenomenon and continued that has not been able to stop in the city, said the director of the Sewer and Drinking Water Board of the Municipality of Irapuato (Japami), Humberto Javier Rosiles Álvarez. Although more than 2 thousand stormholes have been exchanged for polyethylene pieces, Rosiles Álvarez reported that the theft persists daily as there are still 15,000 metal sewers.
