In this period, a total of 456 water samples from these two points were analyzed, with the following distribution: 375 samples of AIJM and 81 samples of PH. A 93.9 % were suitable for consumption according to criteria of the NC-93-02:1985. Drinking Water. Health requirements and sampling. It is considered that these results were satisfactory and where the samples were found unfit (6.1 %) for consumption, it has been sent the alert and it has been taken rapid and accurate measures for solving the problem.
