Gorgeous California border city is hit by stomach-churning new problem
A gorgeous California city has been plagued with a foul odor due to a stomach-churning problem in the Tijuana River. The stink started after Mexico announced it was forced to dump around five million gallons a day of sewage into the river. Mexico is attempting to replace a section of an ageing sewage pipeline with a newer one made of concrete. … The US side of the (International Boundary and Water Commission) said Mexico had informed them that the decision to dump five million gallons of wastewater a day into the river was a ‘difficult decision,’ but there were no other alternatives to fixing the sewage problem. On Thursday, the IBWC said that even though the sewage dump was ‘bad news,’ the decision was the best way to prevent wastewater from polluting the Tijuana River long-term. The construction project is on the Mexico side of the river and will be split into two phases, scheduled to be completed by April 17.
