Water supply crisis hits Acuna as dirty Del Rio water flows
Public official describes the water as chocolate colored and unfit for bathing in Acuna after turbidity from the Amistad hydroelectric turbines. Del Rio supplies and ferries potable water via Hudson Drive hydrant as crews work to clear murky flows from Lake Amistad. Authorities blame US turbine-induced sediment and recent heavy rains, with Mexico's intakes higher than US gates. Gates on the US side are closed to allow clearer water downstream, and improvements are noted but the problem will take time to resolve.
