A new agreement between the United States and Mexico aims to resolve the longstanding sewage crisis affecting the Tijuana River and the San Diego area. The Environmental Protection Agency announced that the deal will expedite critical infrastructure projects on both sides of the border, including the rehabilitation of key wastewater facilities and the diversion of treated effluent. The plan is designed to provide a permanent solution by accounting for future population growth and ongoing maintenance needs. Officials from both countries have committed to swift action, with several projects set for completion by the end of 2025, marking a significant step toward ending decades of pollution and health risks in the region.
