Episode Details

The county Board of Supervisors is pushing forward with a bold new plan to tackle the decades-long pollution crisis in the Tijuana River — and it’s not just about pipes. The “Tijuana River Capture and Cleanup Initiative” proposes a three-phase local sewage treatment system designed to intercept and treat waste before it reaches U.S. shores, giving communities more control over their environment and public health. With existing systems overwhelmed and pollution still fouling beaches and air, supervisors are calling for emergency action, legislative support, and voter approval via Measure B in November. Alongside the main project, they’re also seeking funds to fix failing culverts under Saturn Boulevard — where sewer gas levels have spiked dangerously high — aiming to improve water flow and eliminate foul odors. This isn’t just infrastructure — it’s a regional commitment to environmental justice and long-term resilience.
