Dear Supporters of Pro Sayulita, We have some exciting news to pass on regarding changes that have been occurring over the summer in Sayulita, thanks to your donations and help during the winter season. 1. Our garbage truck is doing a great job of picking up street trash and maintaining Sayulimpia trash cans throughout Sayulita. The truck is also picking up trash on Gringo Hill, Nanzal, Niño’s Heroes, and out at Patzcuaro. ( There is a posted schedule on our website ) 2. Using some of the funds collected for the construction of the WWTP, we have purchased three additional aerators needed for the operation of the WWTP. As a result, Sayulita now has the cleanest effluent in the Municipality. The water flowing out of our WWTP exceeds government standards assuring that any water being emptied into our bay is safe for swimmers and surfers. 3. Thanks to a generous donation from Walter Staudinger, we purchased a water truck that is being used to wash down the cobble-stone roads, water the dirt roads to keep down the dust, and water plants in public areas. 4. With additional funds from the WWTP project, we are installing the main pipeline to handle the effluent from all the homes that feed into the creek that runs down Calle Revolucion and Calle Niño’s Heroes and empties into the bay next to Don Pedros. These homes will then hook up to the WWTP system, thus eliminating one of the last sources of water pollution to our bay.
As Sayulita grows, so do the needs of the village. Given that none of Mexico’s small towns have their own government, they rely on the Municipality to provide funds for local improvements. These improvements require a minimum of 20% local participation that must be paid by us. So that everyone is clear about how Mexico’s system of funding works and why we need to raise funds for those projects we think are important, a simple description of the system follows.
Mexico has a municipal system of government. This means that the most immediate level of government is at what in the U.S. you would call a county level government. Small towns do not have local governments but are governed by a central municipal government. In the case of Sayulita, the Municipality is Bahia de Banderas and the municipal seat is in Valle de Banderas about 13 kilometers inland from Mezcales. Sayulita is one of 23 towns in the municipality and municipal leaders are generally from other towns. These people do not live in Sayulita so they don’t often have a good idea of Sayulita’s needs and priorities. In the past, Sayulita has been largely ignored when the Municipal government has done infrastructure projects. In part, this was because there was no organized group focused on fulfilling Sayulita’s needs. The Municipal government invested in towns that were more organized. Now that Grupo Pro Sayulita, A.C. is in operation, we have the needed leverage to make things happen on the municipal level and above.
