**Rosarito’s Desalination Plant: A Major Step Forward for Water Security and Tourism**
Rosarito is on the brink of a significant advancement in its water infrastructure with the upcoming construction of a desalination plant, recently confirmed by Mexico’s President, Claudia Sheinbaum. Stemming from the National Water Plan, this ambitious project is slated to commence with a hefty investment of approximately 12 billion pesos, which is around $648 million USD.
“We are committed to making the desalination plant in Baja California a reality,” Sheinbaum affirmed during her daily press conference.
Rosarito’s Mayor, Rocío Adame, enthusiastically supported the announcement, expressing on social media how pivotal this development will be in enhancing the local water supply and safeguarding the region’s beaches. “The desalination plant is happening!” she proclaimed.
### A Vision for Sustainable Progress
The plant is categorized as a Greenfield project and will be able to produce 2,200 liters per second, ensuring a reliable and sustainable water supply for Rosarito. With recent developments reviewed on March 12, 2025, the project has the full backing of Banobras and Fonadin.
In tandem with the water infrastructure initiative, Rosarito is also gaining attention for its efforts in tourism and sustainability. The local administration, led by Mayor Adame, is in pursuit of the National Tourism Quality Certification, which signals a commitment to quality and eco-friendly practices across Mexican destinations.
“This certification emphasizes the quality and sustainability of our tourism industry,” said Paul Corona Rodríguez, president of COTUCO Rosarito.
Rosarito is poised to become a frontrunner in regional development, bolstered by major infrastructure projects and a keen focus on creating a sustainable tourism model.
