A huge sewage stagnation has been experienced for several days in the parking lot of the General Hospital of Torreón, right behind the new High Specialty Regional Hospital (HRAE) of the ISSSTE, in the El Águila ejido.

“The infrastructure of the state of Coahuila and the company that built the General Hospital decided at that time that the whole area was connected to a shaft, which is in a corner, then it becomes saturated and the pressure is lost. In the hospital drains, to prevent reflux, some motorized pumps were installed , which were turned on to release pressure, the motorized pumps are most likely not working, all because the communal sewer is filling up,” said a clinic employee. whom He preferred anonymity.
