Mexican Sewage, Toxic Waste Draw Lawsuit Threat From Cities

Toxic waste and sewage continue to flow from the Tijuana River to the Pacific Ocean, and California cities along the U.S.-Mexican border are ready to bring a lawsuit to halt it. Imperial Beach, Chula Vista, and the San Diego Unified Port District Sept. 28 notified the International Boundary and Water Commission and Veolia Water North America-West LLC which operate the South Bay International Wastewater Treatment Plant in San Diego, that they plan to sue over the discharges unless this issue is addressed within 60 days.
