Newly built sewage treatment plant in Baja still not working at capacity
The director of the Border Environmental Education Project says the San Antonio de los Buenos wastewater treatment plant has helped reduce beach pollution in Tijuana, but has yet to operate at full capacity. … … The plant came on line in June of last year. Prior to the completion of the project, the plant malfunctioned daily dating back to 2018, resulting in constant spills of untreated water directly onto Tijuana’s beaches, material that often flowed northward contaminating the coastline in California cities such as Coronado and Imperial Beach, where the beaches have been closed for more than 1,400 consecutive days.
