### CESPT to Keep Five Customer Service Centers Open on Tuesday, October 1st
The State Commission for Public Services of Tijuana (CESPT) has announced that it will keep five customer service centers open on Tuesday, October 1st, despite the official holiday commemorating the transition of the federal executive government. These open centers are meant to accommodate users needing to make payments, sign new contracts, or carry out other essential procedures with CESPT.
The centers that will remain operational include the Central Offices located on Blvd. Federico Benítez, Plaza Carrusel, Mariano Matamoros, and Avenida Revolución in Tijuana, as well as the Rosarito Villa Floresta center in Playas de Rosarito. They will function during their regular hours from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. All other customer service centers will be closed for the day.
According to CESPT General Director Jesús García Castro, prioritizing customer service is critical, which is why these five locations will stay open even on the public holiday. Operational shift teams will also be on duty to ensure prompt responses to any water supply or sewage system emergencies.
García Castro reminded consistent water service payers that there are several options to make bill payments easier, including automatic and self-service kiosks at the Central Offices on Blvd. Benítez in Tijuana and Rosarito Floresta in Playas de Rosarito. Furthermore, payments can be made through more than 40 commercial partners, including gas stations, supermarket chains, convenience stores, and pharmacies.
Additionally, digital payment options are available on the CESPT website (www.cespt.gob.mx) and through the CESPT mobile app, which is accessible on both iOS and Android devices. Full service at all CESPT centers will resume from Wednesday, October 2nd, and the 073 call center will remain in operation 24/7.
### Local News: Cross-border Pollution Expected to Persist Until at Least 2028
Efforts to mitigate cross-border pollution between Mexico and the United States might not yield significant results until at least 2028. Persistent issues and bureaucratic red tape prolong the resolution of environmental concerns affecting both sides of the border.
In other developments, an aqueduct leak on Blvd. 2000 has left 34 neighborhoods in Tijuana and Rosarito without water. Efforts are ongoing to repair the damages and restore water supply to the affected areas as quickly as possible.
Regarding local infrastructure, the transition process in Tijuana has reached 80% completion only 11 days before the end of the current government term. This swift progress is aimed at ensuring seamless governance for the incoming officials.
With a focus on sustainable development, local authorities maintain a high alert over potential water scarcity issues stemming from reduced flow in the Colorado River, which could significantly impact Baja California.
These efforts highlight the ongoing dedication of the region’s officials to address key public service, environmental, and infrastructure challenges to better serve their communities.
