U.S. Environmental Protection Agency released today its second quarterly public update for 2026 detailing the implementation of two historic agreements signed with Mexico in 2025 to permanently end the years-long Tijuana River sewage crisis. … Since the last quarterly public update in March, the Trump Administration and Mexico have taken a number of important actions to end the sewage crisis, including EPA releasing previously agreed to Border Water Infrastructure Program (BWIP) funds to begin construction on Pump Station 1 (PB-1) and Tijuana River Gates projects. Mexico is also advancing procurement and construction of critical sewer line and pump station rehabilitations. Additionally, both the U.S. and Mexico have advanced progress on a suite of actions agreed to in Minute 333, including infrastructure projects, research studies, and planning for operation and maintenance (O&M) of critical sites and systems that will account for future population growth in Tijuana.
