In this Deep Dive, we visit Picachos, a small mountain community in La Rumorosa, Tecate, where 120 families have spent 15 years without running water. Dependent on costly and unreliable water trucks, residents lived in daily scarcity—until this year, when the State Water Commission (CESPTE) finally delivered 764 meters of new PVC piping and 31 household connections. What looks like a small, local fix actually reveals a bigger story of accountability and dignity. With new infrastructure, a fire hydrant for safety, and real administrative will, this moment marks a rare triumph of government follow-through in Baja California’s rural heart. 💦🏡
