NOGALES, Ariz. (AP) The U.S. Section of the International Boundary and Water Commission has awarded $13.8 million for rehabilitation of an aging cross-border sewage pipeline that has created flooding problems for years in a community north of the border with Mexico.
The commission on Monday announced the contract for SAK Construction to undertake the first phases of work on the pipeline in Arizona s Santa Cruz County, which shares the border with Mexico s Sonora state.
Installed a half-century ago, the line is made of concrete pipe that varies from 24-42 inches (61-107 cm) in diameter. It moves wastewater from Mexico into the U.S. for treatment in Rio Rico, Arizona.
