### Rosarito’s New Desalination Plant: A Game Changer for Water Supply and Tourism
Rosarito is on the brink of revolutionizing its water supply system with the confirmation of a new desalination plant, a project which was officially announced by Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum during her recent press conference. As part of the National Water Plan, this ambitious initiative is slated for construction with an estimated investment of 12 billion pesos, or roughly $648 million USD. “Yes, we are going to build it… We will make the desalination plant in Baja California a reality,” Sheinbaum affirmed.
Rosarito’s Mayor, Rocío Adame, enthusiastically welcomed the announcement, highlighting the significant impact it will have on the region. “The desalination plant is happening! This project will be key to improving the water supply in South Rosarito and protecting our beaches,” she shared via social media.
This Greenfield project promises to provide a sustainable future for Rosarito with a production capacity of 2,200 liters per second. The initiative has garnered support from key financial institutions such as Banobras and Fonadin, as noted in the latest project updates by Proyectos México.
Beyond water infrastructure, Rosarito is also making strides in tourism and sustainability. The city is working towards achieving the National Tourism Quality Certification, a prestigious standard recognizing high environmental and quality criteria. Paul Corona Rodríguez, president of COTUCO Rosarito, explains, “This certification is a comprehensive recognition of quality and sustainability in tourism.”
With such significant infrastructure investments and a strong focus on sustainable tourism, Rosarito is poised to emerge as a leader in regional development.
