After millions of gallons of raw sewage spilled into San Diego through the Tijuana River, federal officials said Monday the toxic flows had stopped. The U.S. International Boundary and Water Commission (IBWC), which oversees the treatment of some of Tijuana’s wastewater north of the border, said the spill began Thursday night. The cause: a major sewage pipe collapse in eastern Tijuana. … Last week’s spill is the latest of many over the past decade and amid infrastructure repairs happening on both sides of the border. But those who live and work in the South County communities affected by the sewage pollution said they feel like reprieve is far from coming.
