Mexico to download the waste water on the edge of the river
Mexico is scheduled to download about 400 million liters of sewage in the Tijuana river, which will probably flow in the United States, a problem of decades that has posed environmental repercussions for beaches and communities, the officials said.
The crews are expected to carry out maintenance on the tijuana sewage system, which is located Beyond the border From San Diego, who continues to be a landfill for the pollution of Mexico, the supervisor of San Diego Jim Desmond told Fox News Digital.
“Every time there is the maintenance made on their part of the border, instead of deviating it (sewage) in a treatment plant, it goes only in the river, in the galanci and eventually ends up in the United States and in the ocean,” he said.
“They put it (sewage) in the large drainage moat called Tijuana river This flows downhill, and unfortunately downhill are the United States, “he added.

Instead of redirecting waste water, Mexico has decided to make it a problem in the United States, Desmond said. Toxic waste and the outflow of wastewater from the Tijuana river persisted for decades, since much is poured downstream in the United States, with the consequent closure of the beach.
Tuesday, Lee Zeldin, head of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), said he wanted to visit the border in San Diego to face issues relating to the “disgusting Mexican sewage” that flow in the United States

Fox News Digital contacted the EPA and the Mexican consulate San Diego.
Mexican officials have no incentives to solve the problem, Desmond said, because the government was not held responsible.

“I think it’s really the time of federal action,” he said. “There must be some kind of repercussions for those actions. Unfortunately, their lack of an adequate sewage system is our problem. It is not their problem.”
To convince Mexican officials to solve the problem, the United States could limit the number of people crossing the border and visas, as well as other forms of financial leverage if the beaches must be closed, Desmond said.
The Tijuana river flows right behind a shopping center on the side of the United States of the border, which places health risks for local residents, he said. In addition to the beach closings, Navy Seals and Recruits train near the Toxic runtù And the children and some elderly residents on the American side of the border fell ill because of the stench from the outflow, said Desmond.

“We must have a better system here instead of being just a collection of sewage for Tijuana,” he said.
