**Rosarito’s Desalination Plant Confirmed: A Transformational Development for Water Supply and Tourism**
Rosarito is on the brink of a significant transformation with the government confirming the construction of a new desalination plant. Officially announced by Mexico’s President, the project is a key component of the National Water Plan. With a planned investment of 12 billion pesos (approximately $648 million USD), the plant aims to revolutionize the region’s water supply.
During her morning briefing, the President affirmed, “Yes, we are going to build it… We will make the desalination plant in Baja California a reality.” Rosarito’s Mayor, Rocío Adame, was quick to express her excitement, noting that the plant will be crucial for enhancing water availability in South Rosarito and safeguarding the local beaches.
**A Vision for Sustainability and Growth**
The desalination facility will be a Greenfield project capable of producing 2,200 liters per second, ensuring a consistent and sustainable water source for the area. Endorsed by Banobras and Fonadin, the project’s latest evaluation was conducted on March 12, 2025.
Rosarito’s ambitions don’t end with improved water infrastructure. The city is also aiming to become a beacon of sustainable tourism. Under Mayor Adame’s leadership, Rosarito is pursuing the National Tourism Quality Certification, which signifies adherence to high standards and eco-friendly practices in tourism. Paul Corona Rodríguez, president of COTUCO Rosarito, emphasized, “This certification is a comprehensive recognition of quality and sustainability in tourism.”
These infrastructure and tourism initiatives are setting Rosarito on a path to becoming a leader in regional development.
