He indicated that the majority of people give priority to other payments, because they consider water the last obligation and this increases the unpaid amounts, although at the present time payments are at 92%.
The current unpaid invoices for the year amount to two million pesos ($158,000 US) of an approximate 100 million ($7.9 million US). In total, 100,000 water customers are counted as late, however it could be 24%, but it is only 10% of the debtors who are the most delayed.
There is awareness of the crisis and the needs of the population, but among the debtors, most are: businesses, schools and of course citizens, he said. http://www.oem.com.mx/elsoldetijuana/notas/n2883484.htm
