Abandoned boy seen sobbing on video as WH downplays terror suspects arrests
A decades-long issue for the residents of Southern California, raw sewage from Mexico continues to flow north of the border.
The issue has been exacerbated by recent storms over the San Diego and Tijuana regions, with millions of gallons of toxic water a lot of which is sourced from the Tijuana River shuttering beaches as far as Coronado and polluting air and water.
While Mexico has long planned to help to resolve the issue, making repairs to fast-growing Tijuana s outdated sewage infrastructure last year and planning to fix additional issues, Border Report said Tuesday that the sewage has continued.
SAN DIEGO (KUSI) – Sewage contamination from the Tijuana River caused the closure today of the Silver Strand and Coronado shorelines, San Diego County environmental health officials said.
The Department of Environmental Health and Quality said signs warning of the contamination would remain in place until samples of the ocean water indicate that it is safe for recreational use.
The department extended previous water closure notices at the Tijuana Slough and Imperial Beach areas to include the Silver Strand and Coronado beaches because flows from the Tijuana River continued to move north.
“Sewage-contaminated runoff in the Tijuana River has been entering the Tijuana Estuary and observations indicate contamination of ocean water now extends from the international border to the Silver Strand and Coronado shorelines,” the department said.
