**Rosarito’s Desalination Plant Confirmed: A Game Changer for Water Supply and Tourism**
Rosarito is set to significantly enhance its water supply system with the confirmation of a new desalination plant. This announcement came from Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum during her recent morning press conference, as part of the broader National Water Plan. The estimated investment for the project stands at 12 billion pesos, approximately $648 million USD.
President Sheinbaum expressed confidence in the project’s execution, stating, “Yes, we are going to build it… We will make the desalination plant in Baja California a reality.” Rosarito’s Mayor, Rocío Adame, welcomed this development enthusiastically, commenting on social media, “The desalination plant is happening! This project will be key to improving water supply in South Rosarito and protecting our beaches.”
**A Sustainable Future for Rosarito**
The plant is classified as a Greenfield project and will boast a production capacity of 2,200 liters per second. This capacity aims to ensure a sustainable water source for the region. According to Proyectos México, the latest review took place on March 12, 2025, with backing from Banobras and Fonadin.
In addition to infrastructure improvements, Rosarito is enhancing its tourism sector with an emphasis on sustainability. Mayor Adame’s team is working towards earning a National Tourism Quality Certification, which endorses destinations that uphold high standards and environmental responsibility across Mexico. Paul Corona Rodríguez, president of COTUCO Rosarito, elaborated, “This certification is a comprehensive recognition of quality and sustainability in tourism.”
With substantial investments in infrastructure and eco-friendly tourism initiatives, Rosarito is on a path to becoming a leading force in regional development.
