It is estimated that next June 15 it will be closed definitively, to start with the construction of the Plaza de la Banda. Its dismantling is already 90 percent and for this reason the Municipal Board of Potable Water and Sewage of Mazatlán, JUMAPAM, is already preparing the Urías I and II plants, to replace the functions carried out by «El Crestón».
