Cronopio Posted April 24, 2021 Report Share Posted April 24, 2021 I'm looking for the phone numbers of pipas that deliver in the area -- especially to Ajijic and west. Anyone have any? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cedros Posted April 24, 2021 Report Share Posted April 24, 2021 There is a water plant west of San Juan Cosala on the south side of the carretera (east of Senderos del Lago) that has their own well There number was 387 763 0036. They deliver pipas of water. I've toured their plant and checked their water-it is very clean. The name is Jocotepec Agua Purificada or something similar. They also supply garrafons of water. There is another in San Juan Cosala 387 761 0372 or 3314130313 but the truck is ancient and cannot make it up steep hills when loaded.

Ezzie Posted April 24, 2021 Report Share Posted April 24, 2021 Expect the cost of pipas to rise dramatically shortly if they have not already done so. Conagua has just hit commercial water takers on the Chapala aquifer with a 300% increase in extraction tariffs - from $3.25 pesos per cu. mtr. up to around $9.4 pesos per cu. mtr. If you get your water from an illegal (unregistered well) or hose dipped into the lake, you are lucky. Don't know what the levies on the Municipal wells (ie. SIMAPA) have increased by.

Ferret Posted April 24, 2021 Report Share Posted April 24, 2021 I was responding to Dichosalocura who then clarified. I've used "tubos" in reference to pipes as well and am understood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cedros Posted March 20, 2022 Report Share Posted March 20, 2022 The water plant just east of El Chante on the south side of the carrtera that produces Jocotopec brand garafons delivers 10,000 liter pipas. Nice clean water-I toured their plant. They have their own well. 387 763 0268 0pen 24 hours 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
