**Rosarito’s Desalination Plant Confirmed: Transforming Water Supply and Boosting Tourism**
In a significant leap towards reshaping Rosarito’s future, the development of a new desalination plant has been confirmed. Announced by Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum, this initiative forms a crucial part of the National Water Plan, earmarked with a substantial investment of 12 billion pesos ($648 million USD).
“We are committed to making the desalination plant in Baja California a reality,” stated President Sheinbaum during her morning address.
Rosarito’s Mayor Rocío Adame also expressed her enthusiasm about the announcement, describing it on social media as a pivotal development for the region. “The desalination plant is happening! This project will be instrumental in enhancing water supply in South Rosarito and ensuring the conservation of our beautiful beaches.”
**Paving the Way for a Sustainable Rosarito**
Classified as a Greenfield project, the desalination plant is designed to produce 2,200 liters per second. This will provide a long-term, reliable water supply, supporting both local needs and environmental sustainability. The latest review of the project was conducted on March 12, 2025, with financial backing from Banobras and Fonadin.
In addition to water infrastructure improvements, Rosarito is also focusing on enhancing its tourism and sustainability. Mayor Adame’s administration is actively pursuing the National Tourism Quality Certification, which exemplifies high standards and environmental responsibility for tourist destinations across Mexico.
“This certification represents a comprehensive acknowledgment of quality and sustainability in tourism,” said Paul Corona Rodríguez, president of COTUCO Rosarito. With significant infrastructure investments and a commitment to eco-friendly tourism practices, Rosarito is poised to become a national leader in regional development.
