Border Sewage Update

On December 18, 2007, Congress passed a spending bill to aside up to $66 million to improve treatment of sewage from the Tijuana River. However, the spending bill did not specify how this would be done. Congress instead required the IBWC to study the 2 best options and continue to negotiate with Bajagua LLC while it evaluates whether the Bajagua project or the an upgrade of the ITWP will be the best option. The IBWC must report back to Congress after analyzing the two plans.
