### Urgent Repairs Scheduled for Otay-Airport Aqueduct
The State Commission of Public Services of Tijuana (CESPT) has announced urgent corrective work on the Otay-Airport Aqueduct due to a detected leak. The repairs will focus on the Otay Customs section within the Magisterial neighborhood and are scheduled to begin at midnight on Friday, October 4th, concluding by 8:00 PM the same day.
CESPT Director Jesús García Castro emphasized the necessity of this intervention on the 36-inch steel pipeline, which plays a crucial role in supplying water to the Otay, Libertad, Airport, Fovissste, Murúa, Los Álamos, and Buena Vista areas. Immediate action is essential to prevent future issues and ensure a reliable water supply for residents.
The repair process will require shutting down the Otay Tank outlet, leading to a temporary water service interruption for 110 colonies reliant on this infrastructure. A complete list of impacted areas is available on the CESPT’s official website. Updates will also be shared through the organization’s social media channels.
The repair work will proceed non-stop for 20 hours, after which water system reactivation will start at 8:00 PM, with service expected to gradually return to normal over the next 24 hours. CESPT aims for full restoration by Saturday night, October 5th.
García Castro thanked the community for their understanding and cooperation during this period, urging them to use stored water exclusively for essential activities. He assured ongoing communication about the project’s progress to ensure transparency and keep residents informed about this vital infrastructure repair in Tijuana.
### Additional Developments in Tijuana’s Water Supply Management
Recent reports indicate increasing efforts by CESPT to modernize and maintain Tijuana’s water infrastructure, including proactive measures to address aging pipelines and system vulnerabilities. In a broader initiative, the utility is exploring sustainable solutions and innovations to improve water distribution efficiency and resilience across the region.
Community engagement has been a key focus, with CESPT launching educational campaigns on water conservation and management. This aligns with broader regional efforts to adapt to challenges posed by urban growth and climate change, ensuring that residents have consistent and quality access to water resources.
In addition, CESPT is working on implementing advanced monitoring systems to detect and respond to pipeline issues more swiftly. These technological upgrades are part of a long-term strategy to safeguard Tijuana’s critical water infrastructure and enhance service reliability for its growing population.
