Ajijic- Why is Sewer Waste Running into Lake Chapala Retirement Community 

Mexico has had these issues with the sewage for a long time. I remember having this issues back in the early ‘80’s. The infrastructure needs desperate repair for the influx of people heading there. The sad reality is you can’t even swim in the lake! Why live near the water ? Thanks so much for your videos! I didn’t know it was every other week now! 🙏

Thanks!

I like the background music!

You are such a romantic. I have no idea why Lori passed. 😂 And for anyone wondering about booking some time with these two wonderful people, do it! My wife and I did. It was well worth it. You’ll get much more than you think.

The sewage has been going into the lake since 1980 when I there the first time. We were told not to swim in the lake even back then.

Yes, I was there last week and the lake looks disgusting.

You have your” feet on the ground “ You give us HONEST UPDATES. Thanks. I wish more RU-vidrs would be honest as you are. Thanks. Important Info. We know you love Lake Chapala. You and Lori been there many years. If I ever decide to buy I seek you consultation. Another great video

THANK YOU 🙏 FOR THE TRUTH 💪❤... F those who cant accept it ❗

Thanks for being honest about this problem.

Solution: Water Recycling Plant/Plants.

It’s Mexico and the lake is already beyond polluted.

I'm not an expert but I am aware that inadequate sewage treatment causes health problems such as hepatitis, cholera, typhoid, e-coli, etc., not to forget bad smells. You have to consider this when vacationing or moving to a poorer country, anywhere in the world.

The situation begins with the extremely low property taxes. And, the ‘freedoms’ so many talk about meaning very few regulations. A recipe for disaster. To add to the problem, the lake is actually a volcanic crater, quite shallow and fed by one river which was extremely polluted. As I understand, that river (at the far east end) is being cleaned up. Though, over building is a big contributor.

Ok you have noTed the problem with the Pipe. So you guys are welcome to help with that stuff. It is the only way to staying in Clapala in your retirement.

Great video Jerry Brown! 👏👍 Thank you for educating us on this growing problem in Chapala 😬

Hi Jerry thanks for making informative videos both the good and ugly, we enjoy your videos. I should had known your email earlier when I was in Chapala for a 4 day visit. It would had been a big opportunity to see around Ajijic with your help. I did enjoy walking around Chapala by the lake and in the center. I glad I got my temporary residency card that fast.

Missed you both last week. Nice to see you again Really good video and info Honestly talking about the current Lake conditions. This is the channel I’ve trusted for 5 years now. I know I’ll get the honest info. Nice walking video. It’s always nice to see you walking down there or when you’re at the Plaza My friend said you were talking with his daughter and wife last week had a nice time with you 👍. Lori walks quite a bit too. You both live healthy lifestyles. You and your viewers have made consistent and regular contributions to the Mexican communities in need for years. Thanks

Seems really crazy to live by a body of water you cant enjoy. How disgusting!! It took 10 seconds to cure me of considering that area.

Sadly this problem goes on in many Mexican communities..and other countries

Love you guys ❤

Its too bad that the largest lake in Mexico is so contaminated that it is not to recommended to swim in it. I am imagine it will only get worse with the steady increase people relocating there.

JERRY !! thank you very much for a very informative video and thank you for telling your viewers the truth about Ajijic and lake Chapala the way it is .. the good the bad and the ugly .. we appreciate your remarkably candid reporting . This can only help newcomers in their decision making process .. you are one of a kind and we appreciate you Bliss

Hi again. Your video was so nice I watched it twice. You are right ! I’ve never known you to sugarcoat things And you substantiate what you say. Some other social media channels don’t Your channel is excellent, you and Lori have 30 years of combined experience. You don’t sugarcoat the gridlock either , but you are fair , positive and honest. Also by you and Lori are both active and having “ feet on the ground “ definitely TrueType know all the towns in Lakeside and beyond, not what you see in other RU-vidr’s videos. You have your own personal experience. Thanks for for giving regularly and consistently to the Mexican communities in need and others with the proceeds of Lori’s book Who better to drive people showing the communities in Lakeside? I recommend people watch your videos and call you Your substantiation of things you say are forthright , transparent, and full of integrity. I ve been viewing your channel for years and listening well. Thanks for all your videos For the above reasons I recommend you and Lori as “ the go to people “ for those thinking of relocating or visiting Mexico and the Lakeside area. Also by owning a home and renovating it your additional hands on experience is helpful also. Thanks. Also your video on lowering exchange rates about lowering exchange rates 2 months ago and cost of living associated with it is the first I’ve seen on RU-vid. It’s important for a relocation person to be straightforward and NOT cleverly suppressIng that information or or skirting around it Thanks for bringing it up and not suppressing it. Important for people to know. Many people will adjusting their budgets as needed.

Just goes to show you how much information you can get from watching Jerry. I have been renting in Ajijic for almost seven months now and I'm still learning new things about this area. Thanks both for another informative video.

Great video layout...wonderful directing, music, format!

Just wait until people start moving into the Margaritaville development 😬

Jerry Will the authorities and sanitation do anything.

In Rosarito too...raw sewage running from gated communities into the ocean....with fishing boats less than a kilometer away....ugh!

Great Video Jerry and Lori❤❤

Thanks for the information. Besides the drought, I see that Mexico has other water issues as well.

Hi to you both!

If you paid taxes here, then you could complain.

I was in the Isla Mujeres area at the beach and found a ton of human fecies in the ocean there🤢 Will not be going back for vacation there. So sad

You paid so much to live next to the biggest septic tank(lake) in Mexico

Mexico is basically a third world country away from the larger metropolitan areas, they insist it's a developing country but the infrastructure in all areas leaves mucho to be desired. 🤮

Yuk !

Depressing. It's possibly a disincentive to moving to Chapala, along with other disincentives to make the move to Mexico, like droughts and water shortages, as Jerry adds, the inability of the infrastructure to handle the growth, and of course, the gangs and cartels that effectively control significant parts of Mexico.😢😢

when you guy's goin back to Cambodia 🤠👍

Jerry you said you had a septic tank? But that also requires a leech field unless there is service that comes in pumps out your septic tank? So I don’t know how it is in Guadalajara for that service?

Sewage treatment?

Goberment need to do water tratamiento, please severo lake chapala

You aren’t making friends with the realtors selling Lake Chapala with this video. It’s a common problem in Mexico. Our Pueblo, Sayulita, has grappled with sewage problems. Population growth always come with infrastructure issues. You may have covered it in a previous video but I am also concerned with water supply.
