### No Proposals Yet for Water and Electricity Issues in Baja California
As of today, there are no new proposals concerning electricity and potable water services in Baja California. This information comes from Adriana Padilla Mendoza, a deputy of the 25th Legislature of the State Congress and the newly appointed President of the Energy and Hydraulic Resources Commission.
Deputy Padilla Mendoza attributes the absence of initiatives to the ongoing review of pending proposals and projects from the previous legislature. “First, we will review all the projects. Some projects were left over from the last legislature, and some have already begun. We want to consider and review all of them. People from various institutions and citizen associations have approached us, informing us that there are several pending matters,” she stated.
Padilla Mendoza, who was appointed to her new role on Monday, August 26, at an event held in the Oriental Garden of José María Morelos Park in Tijuana, emphasized the importance of assessing the real issues facing the community before making any public declarations. “We can talk about many problems the state might have, but it’s essential to be realistic about what we can achieve in the short term and what we can strive for in the long term,” she added.
She highlighted the need to address issues related to water supply cuts and shortages in Tijuana. “We have all the information regarding water treatment and desalination plants in the office, and we are currently reviewing it,” Padilla Mendoza explained.
