MAZATLÁN. – Playa Olas Altas is free of contamination and ready for use and enjoyment of its visitors, as reported by the State Commission for Protection against Sanitary Risks of Sinaloa.
This after Coepriss and the Municipal Board of Drinking Water and Sewerage of Mazatlán took the necessary water samples for their quality monitoring since last December 15.
“According to the new results obtained from the study of the water sampling taken from the Mazatlan beaches on December 15, 18 and 19 showed that the sampled area is suitable for public enjoyment, leaving the beach committee the decision or the initiative to reopen the beach”.

The samples were taken, explained the state agency, with the purpose of guaranteeing the health of vacationers and the general population, where they reinforced prevention and monitoring measures of the water quality especially in Olas Altas.
