Baja California project to improve sanitization of the Tijuana River and enhance environmental conditions in the region is advancing towards a Conveyance System will allow up to one thousand 100 liters (290.6 gallons) per second of treated water which will be removed from the river channel and transported to a suitable site for final disposal.
This project is part of the actions outlined in Act 328 between Mexico and the United States which addresses a shared need to sanitize hydraulic infrastructure in the region
Governor Marina del Pilar Avila Olmeda has championed such projects to advance long-term solutions and create better conditions for communities on both sides of the border.
«We are moving forward with infrastructure that improves sanitization, protects our environment, and creates better conditions for families. These are projects that safeguard our present and build Shared Well-being for Baja California,» said Marina del Pilar.
During a site inspection, Mónica Vega Aguirre, Director General of CESPT, reviewed progress on the conveyance line that will connect the La Morita Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) to the Fideicomiso Florido Pumping Station—one of the system’s key components.
With an overall completion rate of 31 percent, the Conveyance System represents a total investment of 681 million pesos and comprises seven projects distributed across two phases, financed through the Green Bond.
The first phase includes the pumping system for the Arturo Herrera WWTP, the force main leading to the «Cambio de Régimen» (Flow Diversion) point, the construction of a 2,000-cubic-meter capacity structure, and the conveyance line from the La Morita WWTP to the Fideicomiso Florido Pumping Station.
The second phase will involve developing the pumping system for the Fideicomiso Florido Station, the force main leading to the «Cambio de Régimen» point, and the conveyance line from that point to the final disposal site, thereby completing the seven projects that make up the overall initiative.
Having infrastructure in place to better treat, convey, and dispose of water will improve sanitation in the watershed, protect the environment, and create healthier conditions for families, making this project an initiative of Shared Well-being for the border region.
