**Rosarito’s Desalination Plant Confirmed: Transforming Water Supply and Boosting Tourism**
Rosarito is set to enhance its water infrastructure with the confirmation of a new desalination plant, as announced by Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum. Integrated into the National Water Plan, the project will see an investment of 12 billion pesos (approximately $648 million USD).
“Indeed, we are committed to bringing this project to Baja California,” President Sheinbaum affirmed.
Rosarito’s Mayor Rocío Adame expressed her excitement over the development on social media, highlighting the plant’s potential impact on water availability and beach preservation in South Rosarito.
**Towards a Sustainable Future for Rosarito**
Classified as a Greenfield project, the desalination plant will have a production capacity of 2,200 liters per second, significantly boosting the region’s sustainable water supply. Backed by Banobras and Fonadin, the project was recently assessed by Proyectos México on March 12, 2025.
Beyond infrastructure developments, Rosarito is also becoming a hub for environmentally responsible tourism. Mayor Adame’s administration is pursuing National Tourism Quality Certification, which denotes excellence in environmental standards for tourist destinations across Mexico.
“This certification embodies quality and sustainability in tourism,” explained Paul Corona Rodríguez, president of COTUCO Rosarito.
With the convergence of major infrastructure and eco-conscious tourism initiatives, Rosarito is poised to lead the way in regional development.
