Three infrastructure initiatives launched by the State Commission of Public Services of Tijuana (CESPT) are set to deliver potable water directly to underserved households, expanding service coverage across communities in Tijuana and Playas de Rosarito.
Mónica Vega Aguirre, Director General of CESPT, highlighted the transformative impact of the developments, noting that direct home access marks a pivotal milestone for families who have waited years for reliable water service.
“Having potable water at home changes a family’s life. It means having the basic utility required to prepare food, bathe, and maintain a healthy living environment. Our primary responsibility is to convert public resources into vital infrastructure that directly reaches the neighborhoods where this need is greatest,” she said.
The expansion aligns with the broader social development agenda of Governor Marina del Pilar Ávila Olmeda, which prioritizes reducing municipal infrastructure deficits and improving quality of life standards across the region.
At Viñedos neighborhood, where residents have long lacked formal connections, a new project incorporating 712 meters of PVC piping and 128 household hookups will serve 474 individuals.
“Having access to potable water through this project will fundamentally improve our home, as we won’t lack this service anymore and our life will change for the better,” said Óscar Cita Andrade, a local Viñedos resident.
Meanwhile, the Maclovio Rojas community will receive 1,200 meters of new pipeline to supply 511 residents. In Playas de Rosarito, the Ampliación Leyes de Reforma project will deploy 776 meters of pipe and 51 home connections to benefit 184 residents.
In total, the three projects represent 2,688 meters of new pipeline infrastructure, providing 1,169 residents across both cities.
Funding for the construction is drawn from CESPT’s own resources alongside federal support from the Drinking Water, Drainage, and Treatment Program (PROAGUA). The efforts reflect the national water framework outlined by President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo, which establishes access to water as a fundamental human right.
Vega Aguirre reaffirmed that CESPT will continue targeting high-need areas, ensuring that investments translate into concrete improvements for families in Tijuana and Playas de Rosarito.
