Rosarito to Welcome New Desalination Plant: Transforming Water Supply and Boosting Tourism
Rosarito is set to revolutionize its water supply with the construction of a new desalination plant, recently confirmed by Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum during a morning press conference. As part of the National Water Plan, the initiative will proceed with an estimated investment of 12 billion pesos (approximately $648 million USD). “We will make the desalination plant in Baja California a reality,” emphasized Sheinbaum.
This development news was met with enthusiasm by Rosarito’s Mayor, RocÃo Adame, who expressed joy on social media, “The desalination plant is happening! This project will be key to improving the water supply in South Rosarito and protecting our beaches.”
The plant, designated as a Greenfield project, will boast a production capacity of 2,200 liters per second, ensuring a reliable water supply for the region. Recent evaluations by Proyectos México highlight backing from Banobras and Fonadin for the initiative.
Rosarito is not only advancing in water infrastructure but is also focusing on tourism and sustainability. Mayor Adame’s administration is actively pursuing National Tourism Quality Certification, a recognition that ensures high standards and environmental responsibility for Mexican destinations. Paul Corona RodrÃguez, the president of COTUCO Rosarito, noted that this certification represents a comprehensive acknowledgment of quality and sustainability in tourism.
With significant infrastructure investments and a commitment to eco-friendly tourism, Rosarito is gearing up to become a leader in regional development.
