Mónica Vega Aguirre, General Director of the State Commission of Public Services of Tijuana (CESPT), is spearheading a significant infrastructure renewal project in the Murúa neighborhood, where the aging sewer network had surpassed its operational lifespan. The initiative involves the replacement of more than 1,300 linear meters of sanitary piping and the upgrade of 260 household discharge connections, directly benefiting over 1,000 local users.
According to Vega, the intervention was urgently needed in this part of Tijuana, as the decades-old infrastructure was no longer capable of delivering the efficient and dependable service that residents require.
“Families deserve a sanitation system that functions properly. Once a network reaches the end of its useful life, it is our duty to replace it before recurring issues further undermine their quality of life. That is precisely what we are accomplishing in Murúa and in other neighborhoods across Tijuana,” Vega stated.
The project is part of CESPT’s broader 2026 infrastructure rehabilitation program, which targets networks exhibiting severe deterioration due to age. The goal is to restore optimal operating conditions and prevent service disruptions in high-need areas.

Crews carried out the work along multiple streets within the Murúa neighborhood, including Cosalá, Guadalquivir, Alicante, Culiacán, Río Yaqui, Vista Alegre, and Tierra Blanca. The upgrades also extended to adjacent communities integrated into the same sanitary system, such as Rampa Buena Vista, Otay Constituyentes, and Vista Alamar.
With a total investment exceeding 6.5 million pesos, the allocated funds have been directed entirely toward replacing obsolete infrastructure and reinforcing the sewage system’s performance in this densely populated zone.
The completed improvements are expected to raise service standards for roughly one thousand households, offering greater peace of mind and dependability for the families who rely on the drainage network every day.
Vega reaffirmed CESPT’s commitment to continuing these essential repairs across Tijuana, with a focus on the city’s oldest and most vulnerable sanitation systems, as part of an ongoing effort to elevate the quality of public services for all users.
