California's elected leaders Wednesday applauded the International Boundary and Water Commission's announcement that it has awarded the contract for a project to expand the South Bay International Wastewater Treatment Plant.
"The health and environmental hazards created by this pollution has contaminated Southern California's air and water for too long, and I'm committed to fighting for more federal resources to address this crisis with the urgency it demands."In March, the San Diego Congressional delegation secured over $156 million in funding toward critical repairs to the South Bay International Wastewater Treatment Plant.
"Our communities can't wait. I'm glad to see the IBWC take this important step, which will allow them to put the more than $400 million my colleagues and I secured for the South Bay International Wastewater Treatment Plant to work for repairs and upgrades," said Rep. Juan Vargas, D-San Diego."This project will help double the plant's capacity, prevent up to 90% of untreated wastewater from reaching the coast, and provide cleaner and safer water.
