Citizens Against What?



CITIZENS AGAINST SEWAGE

A group of concerned CITIZENS committed to actively seeking legislative solutions to save Imperial Beach. Imperial Beach is known as "The Beach" to San Diego, National City, Chula Vista, Imperial Beach and Coronado. The Beach has continuous exposure to raw sewage spills from the Mexico Sewage Infrastructures which dump into our local Canyons, Estuary, River, Ocean and end up onto both Imperial Beach and Coronado Beach. We must unite to call upon our Elected Officials to uphold the laws which are being violated. It is critical that government agencies work with Mexico to reduce unnecessary sewage flows in the Tijuana River and improve management of infrastructure that helps prevent beach closures due to hazardous pollutants in South San Diego. This has been a recurring problem in the Tijuana River Valley since the first major spill was record as far back as I could tell in 1939. Even today when a spill occurs we the citizens have to seek notification from IBWC in hopes they can verify the spill only after Mexico can co-sign the spill. It should not take two persons to verify one spill. It is black or it is white. There is no grey area regarding how liquid mass flows, spreads, dissolves, evaporates, disperses, etc the result is the same - it traveled from point A and did not arrive at the attended destination of point B.

I would have thought you were trying to recruit me for a Ponzi scam. Once, I became involved and researched, I learned how serious of an issue this truly is, I finally found my purpose in the community which was foreign to me. For decades, Imperial Beach has been plagued by sewage spills the vast majority of such spills have come from Mexico, an issue that has caused concern within the community in recent months throughout San Diego County. These incidents have led to closed beaches for both Imperial Beach and Coronado Beaches.   Today just after 11am the “Regional Partners Seek Immediate Federal Action on U.S. – Mexico Border Sewage”
