Overview
- State utility CESPT will halt flow at 00:00 on Thursday for 54 hours of technical work, followed by about 36 hours for network recovery with supply returning gradually from Saturday.
- The project replaces 250 meters of 54‑inch pipeline installed in 1982 at a site where a sinkhole was recorded.
- Officials report the works began in November, are roughly 90% complete, and carry an investment of about 50 million pesos.
- The interruption covers 691 colonias—616 in Tijuana and 75 in Playas de Rosarito—with an estimated 1.3 million residents expected to benefit once upgrades are finished.
- Residents are stocking water and authorities urge conservation, with many families storing about three days’ supply and guidance pegging essentials at roughly 20 liters per person per day.
