The Board of Supervisors Tuesday voted unanimously in favor of a separate government agency purchasing thousands of air purifiers for South County residents affected by pollution, including sewage odor.
Board Chair Nora Vargas' office said the San Diego Air Pollution Control District will distribute the purifiers.
According to Vargas' office, the APCD has identified $2.7 million to purchase the devices. The California Air Resources Board will reimburse the money. Vargas during Tuesday's meeting said the agreement means residents in the city of Imperial Beach and Tijuana River Valley communities such as Nestor can also get purifiers.
