玛雅·阿弗尔布赫报道，墨西哥最大城市之一瓜达拉哈拉的数千人因自来水受污染而在州长住所外抗议，据当地新闻报道。
Thousands of people in Guadalajara, one of Mexico’s largest cities, protested outside the governor’s residence over contaminated water, according to local news reports.
居民抗议该市自来水质量问题，该市今年早些时候曾举办世界杯比赛，根据《环球日报》发布的视频，抗议者与警方发生冲突。数月来，部分社区居民抱怨自来水浑浊、发黄并带有异味。
Residents protesting the quality of tap water in the city, which hosted World Cup games earlier this year, clashed with police, according to a video published by daily El Universal. For months, residents in some neighborhoods complained of water that was sullied, yellow and foul-smelling.
周六，州长帕布罗·莱穆斯在社交媒体上表示，政府正在努力解决水质问题，此前已收到“数千”份市民的反馈。
On Saturday, Governor Pablo Lemus said in a social media post that the government was working to solve the water quality problem, after receiving “thousands” of citizens’ reports.
“我理解你们的沮丧，我听到了你们的诉求，你们有充分的权利表达自己，”他说。
“I understand the frustration, I hear your demands, and you have every right to express yourselves,” he said.
上周，官员们因称其在暴雨后被废水污染，暂停了从供应城市的附近拉斯皮纳斯水库的供水。抗议者坚持认为问题早在最新天气事件之前就已存在。供水限制预计将在数月内限制该市的用水供应。
Last week, officials suspended the water flow from the nearby Las Pintas reservoir that supplies the city, after they said it had been contaminated by wastewater following heavy rains. Protestors have insisted the problem preceded the latest weather. The restriction on supply is expected to limit water availability in the city for several months.
