This is the norm in parts of Mexico where there is not enough delivery system including for water. Less infrastructure and more customers can yield a bigger profit.

In Mexico where public works is underfunded, the next subdivision promises to make the upgrades but it never happens so everyone takes their turn for power and water. Say what you will but planned outage can be just an excuse for not enough. Just love those electric vehicles and don’t forget to use less water so more homes can be constructed.

If we can’t keep the lights on we need an overhaul or our states leadership… every week another outage….
