Residents of Mexico City suburb are anxious after living over a month in black sewage water.
The low-lying area at the edge of what was once an ancient lake has long been plagued by seasonal flooding.
Residents say this year has been worse, a combination of unchecked growth and failing infrastructure.
The water was as deep as 5 feet ( 160 centimeters ) in some areas.
The flooding delayed the start of the school year by two weeks for thousands of students.
Authorities have extracted more than 264 million gallons ( 1 million cubic meters ) of water.
They also began cleaning and disinfecting 28 streets affected by the flooding.
Residents who have managed to lower their water levels are now removing debris and silt from homes.
