Sewage maintenance department of Mexico City

The façade of Santa Teresa, a former baroque convent in Mexico City now Ex Teresa Arte Actual, was cleaned by applying 6000 litres of water with a high-pressure device commonly employed for sewage pipe maintenance. The high pressure was able to wear away parts of the façade of the building.
