The reputation of Playa del Carmen as a safe and reliable tourist destination is under threat due to an ongoing sewage issue. The problem is centered around the intersection of Fifth Avenue and 10th Street, a bustling hub in the heart of the Riviera Maya. The sewage pipelines in this area are overflowing with wastewater, creating a significant problem for all who pass through.

Visitors to the area are confronted with an unpleasant surprise, as the company responsible for the sewage service, Aguakan, has yet to address the issue. The overflow is being spread by passing motorists and motorcyclists, exacerbating the pollution throughout the street.

Employees within the tourism industry have voiced their concerns, stating that they have reported the situation to Aguakan, but to no avail. The stench of feces pervades the area due to the wastewater overflow, causing distress among residents and workers. Many are expressing concern over Aguakan's lack of action to rectify the situation.

The consensus among affected residents and workers is that this lack of maintenance to the sewage system is tarnishing the image of their beloved tourist destination. They are calling on municipal authorities and Aguakan to take immediate action to resolve this pressing issue.
