Amen. And it's all over town, and we would be naïve to think any different.
Of course, if I was a hotelier or restaurant owner I would want to believe a different story. Contaminated effluent is just that.

i've been told that there are two separate water issues happening in Loreto.
The water on the north end of town, on Madero and Davis and the dirt streets up there is sewage. You can smell it.
The water on Juarez, Salvatierra and Hidalgo is much cleaner, though probably not as clean as they say it is. The water table is at street level in
the low part of town right now, and fresh spring water is coming up under people's houses and in the streets. This is why Calle Agua Dulce is named
Agua Dulce.
Although it may be somewhat contaminated by leaky old pipes, it doesn't smell like the water up north. Historically the area between the malecon and
the plaza was wetland and mangeles, not a place where people lived and built.

Same day I checked into Coco's Cabanas, I stopped by to see a friend I hadn't seen in two years that lives in Loreto. And he said that I shouldn't
spend any time in Loreto because of the health issues, and he stays out of 'that' area that has standing water & smells. He also has some
concerns for the restaurants that are open in that area?????? Who wouldn't?? We did go out to the restaurant just south of town that opened three
weeks ago. You have a sitting choice of 'at the pool' or upstairs looking "out to sea". The owners have done a great job here. And lunch opens at
noon. Cold Pacifico's. Great menu, and we had a delightful visit with the owner during the meal. Highly recommend this restaurant. Then next day
moved to Nopolo where we stayed with another friend. Drove to Villa Groups new resort south of Loreto maybe 30 miles???? What an incredible
project. Staff falling all over themselves to offer any kind of assistance. Other than being as remote as it gets, we did talk to several of the
guests while we were there, and they all chose it for it's isolation?????? different strokes for different folks. But the lunch was fine, and
though on the edge of pricey side, well worth the drive out there to see it. We didn't get "hit up" once while we were there to get a presentation.
We did eat in Nopolo at a little (french???) restaurant while in the area. Seating besides their building, and on the sidewalk, and does have indoor
eating. It was FULL, and happy eating guests. And by time I finished my meal, I joined them as a 'happy guest'. Saturday morning, hit the road
for Cabo. In LaPaz, BOTTLENECK getting through this town on way to Cabo. Anyone know of any short cuts??? It must have taken us about half an hour
just to CRAWL along the south arrouyo road. Maybe it was being Saturday morning, but found the highway at the junction stop light to head south, huge
problem. Police were running a manual override controlling the lights. They favored the No. So. traffic. The eastbound 'crawled' painfully. But
once out of town, the roadway was E Z driving. And finally at Cabo about 4:30 p.m. The highway from S.T. was wonderful driving. First time on
this completed part.

Was just there.
There is one street that has some standing water, but no smell and really no problem.
