San Diego’s congressional delegation Tuesday praised President Joe Biden for including $310 million for the South Bay International Wastewater Treatment Plant in proposed disaster relief funding. If passed, the money would add to a previously awarded $400 million in federal funding to get the plant running at full capacity and even double its capabilities. … In May, the local Congressional delegation, including Vargas and Reps. Scott Peters and Sara Jacobs, both D-San Diego, and Rep. Mike Levin, D-Dana Point, called on the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to begin an investigation into pollutants from the ongoing sewage crisis at the border.
