### Secondary Update: Impact of the Heatwave on Tijuana
#### Increased Water Consumption Amid Heatwave
The recent heatwave in Tijuana has led to a notable 10% increase in water consumption across the city, according to the CESPT (State Commission for Water and Wastewater Services of Tijuana). The intense heat has pushed residents to use more water to cope with the extreme temperatures, resulting in additional strain on the water supply systems.
#### Power Outages Impacting Local Factories
The unprecedented heat has also caused frequent power outages, severely affecting the operations of various maquiladoras (manufacturing plants) in Tijuana. This has translated to significant economic losses, as factories have struggled to maintain productivity without a reliable electricity supply.
#### Upcoming Events: Partial Lunar Eclipse
Looking ahead, Tijuana residents will have an opportunity to witness a partial lunar eclipse. Mark your calendars for this celestial event, which promises to be a breathtaking sight.
#### Water Supply Restored to Affected Neighborhoods
Good news for Tijuana’s residents dealing with water shortages: the CESPT has announced that water supply will be restored to impacted neighborhoods today. Areas like Villa del Campo, which faced the most severe shortages, are expected to see normalcy return. The increased water consumption during the heatwave had strained resources significantly.
