Feds say sewage treatment plant fixes are in play. But it will be years before benefits are felt.
… Commissioner Maria-Elena Giner, head of the IBWC, told [Matt] Henry and others gathered at the meeting that a long-awaited project to repair and expand the dilapidated [South Bay International Wastewater Treatment Plant] broke ground earlier Tuesday. … But it will be several years before the benefits of construction projects on both sides of the border are felt and data yet to be collected reveals other possible solutions. …Together with the overhaul of a wastewater plant in Baja California, [the] expansion should eliminate about 90 percent of untreated wastewater reaching South County shorelines.
