Mexico City residents may face fines of as much as 15,000 pesos ($1,136) for wasting water during activities such as watering their lawn or washing a car with a running hose, El Universal newspaper reported.
As a water shortage grips Mexico’s largest city, a group of city employees will circulate the city on motorcycles and photograph and video tape people misusing water, El Universal reported, citing Ramon Aguirre, director of the city’s water system.
Offenders will be subject to fines ranging from 1,500 pesos to 15,000 pesos, he said.
