Tijuana Tide Crashes Towers

“Tijuana’s high tide damages lifeguard towers. Cespt faces pipe replacements. Legal changes proposed for child vendors. Weather forecast: 18°C with some clouds. Health advocates push for cancer screenings.”

**High Tide Topples Three Lifeguard Towers in Tijuana Beaches**

In the past few days, Tijuana’s beaches have experienced significant high tide, leading to the collapse of three lifeguard towers according to Juan Hernández, head of the Lifeguard Division for the city’s Fire Department. The towers numbered 3 and 4 were dragged closer to the sea as a result of ongoing boardwalk repair work, making them particularly susceptible to the high waves, while tower 2 was taken down on Saturday.

Juan Hernández has advised the public to avoid entering the beach during this period of elevated wave action. He also noted that lifeguard towers are situated in areas where ocean currents are most dangerous, and reassured that new towers will be erected once the tide subsides.

Recent assessments have revealed that approximately 70 kilometers of pipes managed by Tijuana’s Cespt are outdated and require replacement, according to Seproa. Meanwhile, changes in property tax for 2025 indicate that regions like Playas de Tijuana and Colinas de Agua Caliente are among the areas facing higher rates.

In a related development, local authorities are considering legal amendments to address the involvement of children in street vending and traffic signal distractions. Additionally, Tijuana’s customs have been actively seizing recently imported “chocolate” vehicles from the United States, in alignment with federal decrees to regulate cross-border vehicle entry.

As part of broader city updates, a temperature of 18°C is forecast for Tuesday, with partly cloudy skies expected. Christmas trees are making their seasonal appearance in local markets, with prices varying based on size and optional color spray treatments.

For those over 40, health advocates encourage the initiation of cancer screening tests, specifically for prostate cancer, which often face late diagnoses due to societal stigmas, as emphasized by the Pro Oncavi group.

Lastly, East Zone Hospital employees received payment for one pay period but remain uncertain about the schedule for further compensation, highlighting fiscal management issues affecting municipal healthcare services.
