South Bay International Wastewater Treatment Plant completes 10 MGD expansion
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. International Boundary and Water Commission (USIBWC) announced the completion of a 10 million-gallon-per-day expansion at the South Bay International Wastewater Treatment Plant (SBIWTP) in San Diego. The project boosts the facility’s capacity from 25 to 35 mgd, a 40% increase aimed at reducing cross-border sewage flows from Tijuana into the Tijuana River Valley. Originally planned as a two-year project, the expansion was completed in just 100 days.
