SAN DIEGO (Border Report) — A $400 million contract has been awarded to refurbish the International Wastewater Treatment Plant in the Tijuana River Valley.
The formal announcement was made Thursday by U.S. Rep. Juan Vargas, D-California, and U.S. International Boundary and Water Commissioner Maria-Elena Giner.
According to IBWC, the project includes “essential rehabilitation of existing infrastructure and capacity expansion to double current treatment capacity of 25 million gallons per day (MGD) to reach 50 MGD average flow, with a peak hydraulic flow capacity of 75 MGD.”
“Something is finally getting done,” Vargas said emphatically. “The contract has been let and we’re moving forward.”
