Hurricane Preparedness: Drainage and Arroyo Cleaning
La Paz has begun cleaning and sediment removal work in the El Cajoncito arroyo as part of the Hurricane 2026 preparedness operation aimed at reducing flood risks, overflows and structural damage during the upcoming rainy season. Heavy machinery is being used to clear vegetation, trash and accumulated sediment from waterways and drainage infrastructure.
The work is focused on the arroyo channel behind Villas del Encanto and alongside the El Pescador neighborhood, where runoff passes beneath the J. Mújica bridge before continuing toward Cola de la Ballena and the sea. Crews are also cleaning stormwater collectors and sanitary drainage systems in different parts of the city.
The cleanup operation is being coordinated with the state government, the armed forces, private contractors, the labor union CROC and the Mexican Chamber of the Construction Industry (CEMIC). Residents were also urged to help reduce flooding risks by keeping residential areas free of trash and debris during the 2026 hurricane and rainy season.
