### Primary Article: Villa del Campo Suffers Most from Water Shortage This Weekend; 10% Increase in Demand Reported by CESPT
**Tijuana**— Villa del Campo experienced significant water service disruptions over the weekend, as reported by Jesús García Castro, director of the Tijuana State Commission of Public Services (CESPT).
García Castro explained that the CESPT had to dispatch water trucks to the affected area to address the critical shortage caused by an intense heatwave hitting the region. An electrical failure disrupted the operation of some of their water pumps, which compounded the problem. “The discomfort was substantial, but this type of situation was exceptional. Generally, we have been servicing neighborhoods effectively unless there’s a leak requiring interruptions,” he clarified.
Additionally, García Castro noted that the Otay area also encountered interruptions due to a different pump equipment failure. However, this disruption lasted less than a day. He also highlighted that the water demand surged by 10% compared to a typical summer weekend.
