In May, local lawmakers called for an investigation into wastewater pollution impacts on residents in Imperial Beach, Coronado and other southern San Diego neighborhoodsThe Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has agreed to investigate the potential health risks associated with sewage flowing into the Tijuana River and across the border into southern San Diego County.
The four San Diego-area legislators who called on the CDC to investigate the issue also introduced an amendment earlier this year to the 2024 National Defense Authorization Act to establish a new federal program to provide grants for public health and water quality restoration projects in the Tijuana River Valley.
San Diego County's Health and Human Services Agency also requested in June that the CDC look into the potential health impacts of the billions of gallons of raw sewage that has flowed into San Diego County over the years.
