A quick fix to Tijuana River pollution could offer immediate relief
Communities living with one of the most severe pollution problems in California could see immediate relief if San Diego leaders can get a key Tijuana River project out of the gate. While millions of gallons of untreated sewage enter the river on a regular basis, one road crossing, known as the Saturn Boulevard hot spot, is the source of most airborne pollution from the river. As the U.S. and Mexico pursue a combined $800 million in upgrades to wastewater facilities on both sides of the border, local governments are working on a smaller fix to that chokepoint that could improve conditions as soon as next year, officials said. San Diego leaders are trying to secure about $25 million to repair the road crossing at Saturn Boulevard. … But they’re still trying to nail down a funding source for the project.
