Jalisco Budget 2027: Which Water and Mobility Projects Will Receive the Most Funding?

• Miravalle No. 1 Potable Water Plant: Will receive 2 billion pesos for its modernization and expansion. This project is part of the agreement established with the federal government to improve the quality of water distributed in the Guadalajara Metropolitan Area.
• Construction of the Second Chapala Aqueduct: The budgetary proposal includes 1.5 billion pesos for this project. However, President Claudia Sheinbaum announced that the project would receive full federal funding, necessitating clarification on the destination of the initially considered state resources.
• Bypass Works: 750 million pesos are proposed for sanitation work on the Old Chapala-Guadalajara Supply System.
• Stormwater Collectors: 500 million pesos are allocated for the construction of infrastructure for managing and conveying rainwater.
• Rain Gardens: The program is allocated 100 million pesos to install rainwater harvesting and storage systems in homes, as well as to train beneficiaries in their use and maintenance.

For the Miravalle Potable Water Plant, the intervention is already underway with a first phase of work expected to conclude in 2027. However, the State Water Commission’s project includes two additional phases: the second is projected to conclude in March 2028, and the third in January 2029.

Furthermore, the bypass works are related to the suspension of the flow in the Old Chapala-Guadalajara Supply System. This measure was adopted to prevent water with high levels of contamination from continuing to be distributed in the city while sanitation efforts are underway.

What Will Happen with the Sanitation of the Santiago River?

Another significant component of state spending will be the recovery of water bodies. For the sanitation of the Santiago River, the budgetary proposal earmarks 3.285 billion pesos distributed across 13 budgetary programs.

These resources aim to complement federal government actions to address the pollution of the Lerma and Santiago rivers. For the latter, the Federation has announced an investment of 16.7 million pesos.

The majority of the state allocations for infrastructure and sanitation will be managed by the State Water Commission (CEA) through projects for wastewater treatment, potable water supply, and the construction of hydraulic and sewage infrastructure.

Allocations in this section include:

• 120 million pesos for the operation of wastewater treatment plants.
• 41.2 million pesos for facilities discharging water into the Santiago River.
• 52.6 million pesos for treatment plants under the responsibility of the State Water Commission.

How Much Will Mobility Receive, and Which Departments Will See Adjustments? Jalisco Budget 2027

In addition to the water component, the 2027 Expenditure Budget Proposal allocates resources to strengthen public transportation and improve mobility infrastructure in the state. The Integrated Development Program for the Urban Electric Train System is slated to receive an allocation of 3.297 billion pesos. Of this amount, 1.183 billion will be dedicated to the passenger rail service of Light Rail Line 4. Additionally, complementary works for this line will receive 250 million pesos, while its maintenance will be allocated 171.9 million pesos.

Key mobility projects and systems considered include:

• Modernization of the Urban Electric Train System (Siteur): 981.5 million pesos for the 2025-2030 period.
• Light Rail Line 4: 1.183 billion pesos for service provision, plus 250 million for complementary works and 171.9 million for maintenance.
• Line 5 or Macro Aeropuerto: 250 million pesos for the Interconnected Mobility System.
• Fare Collection System: 70 million pesos.
• Mi Macro, Mi Macro Periférico, and Line 3: 174 million pesos for these transportation systems.

These allocations are part of the state’s mobility strategy and aim to sustain the operation, modernization, and expansion of public transportation services. In parallel, the proposal includes 13.891 billion pesos for security, distributed across 25 budgetary programs from 19 public entities. Within this amount, the State Prosecutor’s Office will receive 2.017 billion pesos to strengthen investigations, victim support, and judicial proceedings.

The Ministry of Security will receive 1.629 billion pesos for adolescent and adult social reintegration programs. The Ministry of Intelligence and Search for Persons will have 103.2 million pesos for coordination, information analysis, and actions related to disappearances.

These allocations are supplemented by 25.9 million pesos for the Citizen Security program, focused on enhancing police response and the protection of women in Jalisco.

Which Departments Will Have Budget Modifications for 2027?

The initiative also proposes a redistribution of public spending among various state organizations. One of the most significant adjustments concerns the Ministry of Integral Water Management, whose budget is projected to decrease from 2.977 billion pesos approved for 2026 to 2.181 billion projected for 2027.

According to the proposal, part of this difference would be channeled directly to public works or, where applicable, to the Intermunicipal System of Potable Water and Sewerage Services (SIAPA).

In terms of searching for missing persons, the JalisCIENSE Institute of Forensic Sciences will receive 470.8 million pesos, compared to the 511.6 million approved in 2026 within the Cross-Cutting Annex for Comprehensive and Coordinated Search for Disappeared Persons. This adjustment comes as the entity faces the challenge of identifying over five thousand bodies, human remains, and skeletal fragments.

In contrast, other institutions will see increases:

• C5 Jalisco: 1.464 billion pesos, an increase of 119.5 million from 2026.
• Vice-Prosecutor’s Office for Missing Persons: 155.9 million pesos, approximately 10 million more.
• State Executive Commission for Victim Assistance: 24.1 million pesos.

Furthermore, the Ministry of Social Assistance System will see its budget reduced from 1.860 billion to 1.515 billion pesos. These adjustments will affect programs such as Listo Jalisco, Yo Jalisco, and transportation subsidies.

Finally, the Legislative Branch will receive an allocation of 1.355 billion pesos, approximately 34 million less than in 2026, within the context of budget adjustment measures for state congresses included in the Electoral Plan B.
