San Diego County leaders are weighing whether to take legal action aimed at holding the company managing a federal wastewater plant along the U.S. border accountable for pollution. The County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously Tuesday to “explore litigation options” against Veolia, the French transnational company managing the federal wastewater plant on the U.S. side of the border with Mexico. The options on the table are to start their own case against Veolia for failing to curb Tijuana River pollution, or join one of the other lawsuits already filed this year against the company on behalf of Imperial Beach residents. Supervisor Terra Lawson-Remer also said they may consider taking action against other responsible parties, including Mexico.
