Garay Velázquez added that the second has an average progress of 70 percent, with just one work completed.
«Only a work that is pending to start, in this work we find that the ownership of the land was not guaranteed and right now it is being verified to be able to start it, and another work is a work that we have started a little late».
He commented that for the third package, with an investment of 70 million pesos between Municipality and State Government, between 37 and 45 works are contemplated, mainly in potable water and sewerage works in the city and the rural area.
«Actually, we have talked about a package of 12 works in the first package and 26 in the second, of 38 works. We are programming ourselves, we are going to say 42 additional works in the third package, which leads to 80 works so far carried out directly by the Municipal Public Works Directorate ».
The head of Public Works said that if this trend continues, there is the certainty of fulfilling the annual works program proposed by the Government of Mazatlan.
