*2.1.3 Maintaining and improving the esthetic aspects*

Considering the magnitude of many critical infrastructures, and their long service life, the appearance of many of these facilities deteriorate, and if they are not maintained, they can become the eyesores of the hosting community. This can indirectly impact the neighboring areas and decline their property value. The maintenance must preserve the attractiveness of the community to live and work through the application of different measures that can enhance the appearance of the infrastructure facility. Some examples of performing this are using barrios that can mask an unpleasant view or renewing the paint, fixing the fences, and taking advantage of advertisements on old looking walls or other surfaces.
