San Diego’s county Board of Supervisors has finally approved a three‑phase plan to tackle the long‑standing problem of untreated Mexican sewage that spills into the Pacific and contaminates some of California’s most popular beaches. The initiative will involve building new treatment facilities, upgrading existing infrastructure, and coordinating with Mexican authorities to reduce the volume of raw sewage entering the ocean. The move is expected to improve water quality, protect public health, and restore the region’s reputation as a clean coastal destination.


San Diego is done waiting. The county Board of Supervisors voted this week to authorize a three-phase plan to treat Mexican sewage that empties into the Pacific Ocean and fouls some of California’s finest beaches.
