5 billion pesos have been invested in drinking water, sanitation and sewerage systems, providing more than 200,000 people with access to drinking water. In addition, 4,500 kilometres of national roads were rehabilitated.
In her third report, María Eugenia Campos Galván stressed that her government’s legacy will be to bring drinking water to those who do not have it. She stressed that these infrastructure works, although not always visible, are crucial because they represent dignity and social justice.
With this investment, the water network has been maintained, reaching 91% coverage in the state, according to INEGI. This positions Chihuahua as a national leader in water infrastructure, with the greatest access to drinking water services in the country.
