SAN DIEGO – $300 million in federal funding could soon be freed up to put a stop to contaminated water flowing over the border and into our coastal waters.
The Tijuana sewage crisis has lead to common beach closures in Imperial Beach and Coronado, a problem that KUSI has been reporting on for decades. Under President Trump, Congress allocated $300 million in federal funding to address the issue. But when the Biden Administration took over, they wanted to “re-study” how to use the funding, which is why the money has not yet been received or used.
Coronado Mayor Richard Bailey shared a detailed insight to the funding arriving. KUSI’s Dan Plante went live in Coronado, where residents and local leaders are ecstatic for the potential for change.
DanPlanteKUSI 04will never help withthis problem because it's not their problem, México contributed several millions for the construction of the sewage plant on this side of the border and is just a sitting Elephant now outdated on this side of the border. México got screwed once so don't wait
DanPlanteKUSI 03 microscopic sewage and what the residents need to do is run environmental studies for Coliforms and get up in arms and demand full value of their homes and get out of Dodge. Residents don't realize they are breathing Bacteria, Mold and Viruses on a daily basis. Dan México
DanPlanteKUSI 02 the entire year is contaminated. People pay top dlls for ocean views of contaminated beaches with fecal material. OB and Coronado real-estate from a scientist prospective are worthless because those houses are built around a huge sewage contamination the problem all is
DanPlanteKUSI Dan the corruption in SD for the sewage problem is taken more than 50 years the money that is allocated somehow disappears from SD politicians. What the politicians don't realize is that the contamination of fecal material extends from the border up to La Jolla. OB and Coronado
DanPlanteKUSI How many times do we need to pay for TJ sewage treatment?
DanPlanteKUSI So glad we get to spend more taxpayer funds to clean up this mess from Mexico. I suggest we cut their foreign aid until they fix it.
DanPlanteKUSI Well, since you import refuse from Democrat run areas, let people piss and sh*t everywhere, and hold out open arms for drug addicted, child molesting, sex offending human refuse, seems to me you should all clean it up yourselves. Nothing, but animals there.
DanPlanteKUSI I hope you pay attention to and broadcast where every penny is being spent moving forward.
DanPlanteKUSI Don't hold your breath or hold your breath?
DanPlanteKUSI Because Mexico is a cesspool.
DanPlanteKUSI None of that money will clean up anything. I live here an I won’t step foot in that nasty ass water again. Last time I did my bathing suit disintegrated. It’s disgusting.
DanPlanteKUSI Where did the $20 million go ? Remember a few years ago they allocated $20 million to towards the clean up? How about we start with an audit of that money?
DanPlanteKUSI It'll be amazing if it gets cleaned up.
DanPlanteKUSI Just reroute the mess back to TJ?
DanPlanteKUSI Looking good in Coronado was ib too far south for y’all? 🧐
DanPlanteKUSI Hopefully by building a dam and reverse pump to return it to its source.
