Spanish company Grupo Cox has been awarded a US $310 million contract to build a desalination plant in Rosarito, Baja California, Mexico. The National Water Commission (Conagua) selected Cox as part of a consortium that also included Mexican company Gami Ingenieria e Instalaciones. The plant is expected to produce 190 million liters of drinking water per day in its first phase, addressing the water supply needs of Playas de Rosarito and the southwestern area of Tijuana.
Constructed using reverse osmosis technology, the plant will treat 2,200 liters of seawater per second, providing an additional water source to the region. Construction is projected to be completed within three years, and the federal and Baja California governments will jointly fund the project. The desalination plant will be the largest facility of its kind in Latin America.
