SAN DIEGO—Members of San Diego’s congressional delegation Aug. 28 demanded answers as to why despite the dry weather, environmental officials are reporting an increase in sewage flow and strong odors from Mexico in the Tijuana River.
Reps. Juan Vargas, Sara Jacobs, Scott Peters, all D-San Diego; Mike Levin, D-Dana Point; and U.S. Sens. Alex Padilla and Laphonza Butler, both D-Calif., called on the U.S. Department of State to pressure Mexican officials for answers on the unprecedented dry weather sewage and sediment flows from Mexico.
