Baja California Governor Opens Sewage Network for 700 Residents in Tijuana

The Baja California state government inaugurated a new sanitary sewer system in the Granjas Familiares Unidas neighborhood of eastern Tijuana. The project, costing nearly six million pesos, installed 1,632 metres of eight‑inch PVC pipe, connected 180 household discharges and built 37 access manholes, providing sewage service to roughly 700 residents.

Governor Marina del Pilar Avila Olmeda led the ceremony, noting the work is part of the state’s “Corazones” program that targets the 50 most vulnerable regions. CESPT director Mónica Vega Aguirre explained that the system will channel domestic wastewater into the city’s main network, eliminating surface runoff, reducing biological contamination risks, and improving public health and property values. This rollout is one of 21 water‑potable and sanitation actions scheduled for East Tijuana in 2026.
