Among the main indicators analyzed are Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), oils and fats, suspended solids and sulfides, among others.

Meanwhile, for the parameters of Annex 2, a maximum period of 60 days is granted for adaptation; If not met, the drinking water and sewage services will be temporarily closed.
