**Rosarito’s Desalination Plant Approved: Transforming Water Access and Boosting Tourism**
Rosarito is poised to revolutionize its water infrastructure with the confirmation of a new desalination plant, announced by Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum during a recent press conference. The initiative, part of the National Water Plan, is set to receive an estimated investment of 12 billion pesos (approximately $648 million USD), ensuring a reliable water supply for the region. “Yes, we are going to build it… We will make the desalination plant in Baja California a reality,” declared President Sheinbaum confidently.
Rosarito’s Mayor, RocÃo Adame, eagerly shared her excitement upon the announcement. “The desalination plant is happening! This project will be key to improving water supply in South Rosarito and protecting our beaches,” she proclaimed on social media.
**A Path to Sustainability for Rosarito**
The desalination plant, recognized as a Greenfield project, will have the capacity to produce 2,200 liters per second, significantly enhancing the region’s water sustainability. According to the most recent assessment by Proyectos México on March 12, 2025, the project is supported by Banobras and Fonadin.
Beyond upgrading water infrastructure, Rosarito is moving forward with initiatives in tourism and sustainability. Mayor Adame’s administration is striving to secure the National Tourism Quality Certification, a mark that highlights excellence and environmental responsibility in Mexican tourism destinations. “This certification is a comprehensive recognition of quality and sustainability in tourism,” explained Paul Corona RodrÃguez, president of COTUCO Rosarito.
With significant infrastructure developments and a commitment to eco-friendly tourism, Rosarito is well on its way to becoming a leader in regional growth.
