Water to be shut off in Tijuana & Rosarito??
for 12 hours (or more in Rosarito) on Wednesday....has anyone else heard this??
| Quote: | Tijuana's water to be shut off for more than 12 hours on Wednesday, Nov. 7
Repairs are being made at El Carrizo dam sluice gates for first time since they were built in 1970s
Water service in Tijuana in Rosarito will be shut off for more than 12 hours on Wednesday, Nov. 7, to allow maintenance work on sluice gates at El
Carrizo dam, officials said Tuesday. The shutoff is to begin at 6 a.m. and water may start flowing in the pipes again after 6 p.m.(SIC...do they mean
Tijuana AND Rosarito?)
Water service may be restored to Rosarito until the next day, officials said. (SIC...looks like they dropped the word "NOT")
Frontera said it will be the first work on the sluice gates since the dam was built in 1976-1978. |

While you are waiting for confirmation, fill the water jugs 
I would add an extra 2 or 3 days to their schedule. You should be prepared to be without water service for 3 or 4 days......just sayin'

If it's yellow let it mellow. If it's brown flush it down. Fill bathtub and use that to add water to toilet tank.

btw... there are some suggestions to store enough water for up to 36 hours of need.

Years ago when I lived in Rosarito it was common for the water to be shut off-for days , luckily I had a very large pila under my car port -enough
reserve water for 10 ppl to go three weeks. However one time I drained it climbed down the latter into the under ground room to sanitize it. Only
thing was I like an idiot mixed bleach and ammonia and commenced to scrubbing by the time I climbed up n out there was a smokey haze coming out of the
hole and I was light headed and sick. So what did I learn? Not to clean it. Have a great day

always be prepared for an earthquake or other natural disaster interrupting water supply - keep spare water in bottles, drums, tank, etc. You can buy
a 55-gal drum for $50, put a couple in your garage!

CESPT will be shutting the water off in Tijuana and Rosarito on November 7 (Wednesday) between 6:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m.
From The San Diego Reader
By David Alton Dodd
"This is due to maintenance at the main water department station. Those without pilas may want to take measures to prepare for the shutdown.
Beginning at six o'clock in the morning on November 7, approximately 95 percent of the greater Tijuana area will be without running water. The service
is expected to resume normally 12 hours later, according to the state's commission of public services in Tijuana (CESPT, or Comisión Estatal de
Servicios Públicos de Tijuana).
However, the notice warns that remote areas of Tijuana may not see water from the tap until sometime on November 8.
Past events such as this have taken a bit longer than estimated, for various incidental issues. The reason for this upcoming period of dry pipes is
for scheduled maintenance at Presa Carrizo, a dam and reservoir approximately 25 miles east of Tijuana, just off of the free road from Tijuana to
Tecate.
Carrizo is one of two dams and reservoirs that supply water to the greater Tijuana area, the other being the Rodriguez Dam and reservoir,
approximately 15 miles southeast of downtown Tijuana. The reservoir at Rodriguez is currently at a much lower level than in recent years, while
Carrizo remains a robust source of water.
Most tijuanense households keep a supply of cubetas (empty five-gallon plastic buckets) and fill them with water in advance of planned outages. The
water is used sparingly to flush toilets or for sponge baths for a day or two.
In the past 20 years, CESPT has become better with limiting down-time for maintenance and supplying citizens with plenty of advance notice in order to
prepare for short periods of faucet-less water."
