Description
People gathered at a forum in Coronado to learn more about what’s being done to address the Tijuana sewage crisis.
"I believe it's unacceptable for the situation that's occurring right now," said Maria-Elena Giner, the United States Commissioner of the International Boundary and Water Commission.
She explained a two-part plan to repair infrastructure in the U.S. and Mexico. This includes wastewater plant expansion and fixing a damaged pipeline that transports water from the Tijuana river.
"That's what's primarily impacting and closing the beaches since July of 2022," she said.
The sewage prompting beach closures is also impacting people's health. Doctors say they're seeing sick patients in the South Bay who never went into the water.
