Earlier today, CEA officials met with a few of us San Carlos residents.
The CEA officials were Commercial Director Lic. Alvaro Garza, Technical Director Ing. Jose Heidy Ursuastegui, Guaymas CEA Sub-Director of Quality Felipe Romereo, and Chief of the Department of Water Quality Control Chemical Biologist Jose Luis Celaya Gonzalez.
They informed us of the water situation in San Carlos. They presented us with a power point presentation, which I have converted to Pictures for your convenience.

We were informed that once the "arroyo" (river or creek) by the "El Valiente" water well is accessible, they will be able to repair the pipelines and replace the pumps. Until then, for the sectors of San Carlos who do not have water, they have provided a portable potable water refill station, which is located next to Club Deportivo.
Click bellow, on thumbnail for pictures of directions to the portable water station.

Were were assured, reassured and re-reassured that all of the water being delivered to us San Carlos residents is treated with chlorine to national standards (2 parts per million).
When you start to get water, they suggested to let it run a little, to let the dirt and mud clear out. When the pipelines broke, "stuff" got in them. If you start to refill your "Tinaco", make sure you fill it up a bit, let it settle, dump out the mud, wash the "Tinaco" out with a stronger solution of water and chlorine, then fill it up to the brim.
Another suggestion was to add chlorine to your Tinaco.
The measurements they suggested was: 1 cap full (approx. 10 mil.) of chlorine per 200 liters of water.
 So if you have a 1100 liter Tinaco, apply 5 cap fulls, or if you have the bigger 2500 liter Tinaco, then apply 12-13 cap fulls. You can see what size Tinaco you have by reading on th side of the Tinaco. Most Rotoplas Tinacos have their size noted on the side.
Also, they suggested the following water conservation tips:
1. Fill your W.C. tank with sand filled coke or water plastic bottles, so as to fill up some volume. This will cause your tank to fill up partially, and not waste as much water on your next flush. They also recommended, if you choose to, applying the "yellow mellow" system. The yellow mellow system goes as following; If its yellow, let it mellow, if its brown, flush it down!
Also, not watering your garden, using little water to shower, and do regular daily activities.
We should not expect a constant flow or pressure of water, so conserve water as much as you can for the time being.
As we get more information, we will do our best to keep up-to-date as this evolves.
Thank you for reading, stay tuned for more information,
