CDC starts South Bay health assessment for Tijuana river sewage
Families in the South Bay are being asked to share their concerns regarding sewage pollution along the Tijuana River Valley for a health assessment being conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The CDC arrived to the region Thursday to begin the assessment intended to gather information about the needs arising due to concerns about toxic air pollution in the South Bay stemming from sewage overflow in the Tijuana River Valley. Over the last few weeks, more than 6,000 homes were expected to receive flyers informing them of the Community Assessment for Public Health Emergency Response, or CASPER, Volunteers wearing reflective vests will begin distributing the flyers door-to-door on Oct. 3.
