The infamous yellow sign KEEP OUT OF WATER signs have warned people about the water off Imperial Beach for more than 900 consecutive days. That’s how long raw sewage from Tijuana has tainted the Tijuana River Valley and Pacific Ocean.
Political, business, and government leaders in San Diego County are fed up. Tuesday morning, they collectively sent a letter to California Governor Gavin Newsom asking him to declare a State of Emergency. Again.“Well, the crisis is getting worse, so the urgency could not be overstated,” said Imperial Beach Mayor Paloma Aguirre.
Mayor Aguirre joined 17 other mayors in San Diego County, the Port of San Diego, and the San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce sent their letter to Newsom. It’s the latest attempt to convince the state to send help to Imperial Beach and the Tijuana River Valley. Mayor Aguirre said Newsom rejected a similar request last year because the governor argued the pollution crisis did not meet the necessary standards.Sign up for NBC San Diego newsletters.
