Overview
- A mechanical breakdown in the Booster El Carrizo pumping unit the week of July 7–8 cut flow from Presa El Carrizo by about 12 percent and triggered widespread low pressure or outages across over 200 colonias.
- CESPT technicians and specialists from SEPROA and the CEA removed the damaged booster to the Acueducto Río Colorado-Tijuana workshops where concentrated repairs are under way.
- The utility has kept free 'Brigadas de Atención CESPT' pipas operating to supply affected neighborhoods and says phased recovery of service will begin on Tuesday, July 14.
- Residents report multi-day outages, uneven pipa coverage and paying for private water drums in some areas, with calls to CESPT to increase routes and to report any attempted charges.
- The booster raises flow into Planta Potabilizadora El Florido, so its repair is essential to restore pressure citywide and officials say they will post pipa routes and progress on CESPT channels.
