The State Commission of Public Services of Tijuana (CESPT) reported that water supply restoration has reached 80% in the city and Playas de Rosarito. The outage stemmed from rehabilitation works on the Florido-Aguaje aqueduct and started recovering from Sunday afternoon. Officials urge rational water use during the gradual process.
On Sunday at 6:00 p.m. local time, the CESPT began the gradual recovery of potable water supply interrupted in 691 neighborhoods of Tijuana and Playas de Rosarito, Baja California. The outage resulted from technical rehabilitation and pipe connection works on the key Florido-Aguaje aqueduct for regional water delivery. The efforts include replacing pipe sections, fixing detected leaks, and updating outdated infrastructure to boost system efficiency and avert future disruptions.
These measures are part of a comprehensive plan to fortify the local hydraulic network, driven by the age of components and natural wear. By 6:30 p.m. Monday, service was restored to 80%, with the full process spanning 36 hours.
The CESPT outlined affected areas, such as Aldo Esquer, Armando V, Florido and Paraíso, Reforma, and Rosarito communities. To report issues, residents should call 073 and provide their account number, neighborhood, and street. Authorities advise against excessive water use, restricting it to essential activities, ensuring main valves are open, and keeping household or business taps closed.
This progress eases strain on a vulnerable water system in the area, though full restoration will demand public patience.
