Utility service disruptions in Tijuana and Rosarito

Overview

Residents in Tijuana and Playas de Rosarito have experienced significant disruptions to electricity and water services. High winds, identified as Santa Ana winds reaching speeds of 65 to 100 kilometers per hour, caused power failures across more than 25 neighborhoods, with the East Zone being the most heavily impacted. Reported damage included downed or leaning utility poles and outages affecting government buildings, including the Municipal Palace.

While the Federal Electricity Commission (CFE) issued statements claiming that power supply had been fully restored in Baja California, residents have continued to report ongoing blackouts in various sectors. In addition to electrical issues, citizens have denounced a lack of potable water supply in several colonies. Residents have expressed frustration regarding food spoilage and the absence of compensation for these prolonged service interruptions.
