  "account": "Mexico’s state electricity company, the Comisión Federal de Electricidad (CFE), has admitted to faults in its network impacting water wells in Saltillo, the capital of Coahuila state. Director general Emilia Esther Calleja Alor informed the Chamber of Deputies about 373 electrical anomalies in the 108 wells inspected, with 205 already addressed. The outages, which lasted about 10 days in September, left many neighborhoods with little or no water. Saltillo’s mayor, Javier Díaz González, questioned CFE's delayed resolution and potential lack of spare parts. The utility acknowledged maintenance shortcomings, with 168 issues remaining and 16 priority wells still needing inspection.",
