IMPERIAL BEACH, Calif. – A new way to raise money to fix the ongoing South Bay sewage crisis has been proposed by State Sen. Steve Padilla -- a toll charge in Otay Mesa in which funds would be earmarked for sewage-related projects.The proposed toll would be on the Otay Mesa 2 lane on state Route 11, located just northeast of where state Route 125 and state Route 905 connect.Padilla was slated to join other community leaders for a news conference Wednesday morning.
Earlier this year, the federal government invested $400 million in the South Bay International Wastewater Treatment Plant to bring much-needed fixes and increase its capacity to treat sewage.Then, a CDC study found unacceptable levels of pollutants in the air and water. In response, South Bay leaders have handed out air purifiers to impacted homes.
