Overview

• The break struck around 7 a.m. on boulevard Díaz Ordaz in Terrazas de la Presa, opening a large sinkhole and halting potable water to roughly half the city.
• CESPT attributes the failure to the 54‑inch Florido–Aguaje line’s age and high pressure, noting the 1982 steel pipe had exceeded its service life and operates up to 18 atmospheres.
• Crews are working around the clock to replace about 250 meters of pipe and rebuild the roadway, targeting 36 hours for the fix and another 36 for network stabilization.
• Outages affect Tijuana and parts of Playas de Rosarito, while Zona Centro and other areas fed by separate aqueducts continue to receive water.
• Authorities report a destroyed food stall, four damaged vehicles and several affected businesses, one person treated for a minor injury, and CFE repairing 13.2‑kV lines with traffic routed in contraflow.
