**Rosarito Set to Transform with New Desalination Plant: Boost for Water Supply and Tourism**
Rosarito is on the cusp of a major transformation as it prepares to welcome its own desalination plant. This development was confirmed by Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum during a recent press conference. Part of the broader National Water Plan, the project is set to proceed with an investment of 12 billion pesos (approximately $648 million USD). “Yes, we are going to build it… We will make the desalination plant in Baja California a reality,” Sheinbaum announced.
Rosarito Mayor Rocío Adame quickly expressed enthusiasm about the endeavor. “The desalination plant is happening! This project will be crucial for improving water supply in South Rosarito and safeguarding our beaches,” she shared.
**A Green and Sustainable Future for Rosarito**
Designated as a Greenfield project, the new plant will have a production capacity of 2,200 liters per second, promising a sustainable water solution for the area. The latest review, conducted on March 12, 2025, highlights the backing from Banobras and Fonadin for the initiative.
Beyond ensuring water security, Rosarito is making strides in tourism and sustainability. Mayor Adame’s administration actively seeks the National Tourism Quality Certification, which ensures high standards and environmental awareness for tourist destinations across Mexico. “This certification symbolizes a comprehensive recognition of quality and sustainability in tourism,” explained Paul Corona Rodríguez, president of the local tourism committee.
With significant investments in infrastructure and an emphasis on eco-friendly practices, Rosarito is positioned to lead in regional development.

Furthermore, President Sheinbaum launched a housing program in Playas de Rosarito, further enhancing the region’s growth and development prospects.
