Zihuatanejo is one of the very few communities along the entire Costa Grande that has functioning wastewater treatment plants.

Rob, is there no non-governmental entity that reports the water quality in Zihua?

Nothing reliable or trustworthy. The federal and local governments emit single reports timed to coincide with peak vacation periods. There is no regular testing that is made public, though the municipal government claims it tests the beach waters regularly. Even when the water is obviously unsafe for swimming such as right after a big rain, no warnings are issues by the local government and no signs are placed at the beaches. So while the local government may be monitoring the water, since they keep the info to themselves and post no warnings, I'd have to say their efforts are wasted if not actually useless to the public.
