Las Juntas Water Shutoff: Plan Ahead for Tuesday’s Six-Hour Outage

Hey fellow expats and digital nomads in Puerto Vallarta, here's a reminder to get your water tanks and coffee makers ready! Starting at 7 AM on Tuesday, the Las Juntas area will see a six-hour water shutoff. As someone who's been raising a family here since 2020, I know firsthand how these interruptions can impact our daily routines.

Here’s what you need to know:

• When: The shutoff will start at 7 AM on Tuesday.
• How long: It will last for six hours, until 1 PM.
• Affected area: The Las Juntas region, which includes parts of the city and surrounding neighborhoods.

While SEAPAL, the water utility company, aims to keep these interruptions to a minimum, they can still cause frustration. Here are some practical tips to help you manage the situation:

• Fill up your tanks: Make sure to have enough water stored in your tanks for drinking, cooking, and cleaning.
• Plan your shower: If you're used to a morning shower, consider skipping it or waiting until after the shutoff.
• Prepare for the morning coffee: Coffee machines rely on water, so either switch to a different brewing method or have some instant coffee on hand.
• Keep your pets hydrated: Don't forget to fill up your pet's water bowls before the shutoff.

Remember, these water interruptions are a common occurrence in Puerto Vallarta, especially in the Las Juntas area. While inconvenient, they are usually handled efficiently. Just plan ahead and you can minimize the impact on your daily life.
