The USIBWC and EPA are announcing the acceleration of the incremental expansion of the South Bay International Wastewater Treatment Plant (SBIWTP) from 25 to 35 million gallons per day. Originally planned to take two years, this critical expansion is now on track for completion in just 100 days, due to the aggressive leadership of the Trump Administration. This strategy will deliver immediate benefits by reducing polluted river flows and addressing odors that have been a longstanding concern for U.S. residents.
The USIBWC and EPA remain fully committed to accelerating infrastructure improvements and crossborder environmental solutions. This expansion is a major milestone, and both agencies will continue working to achieve a 100% solution to the Mexican sewage issues that have plagued the San Diego area for decades.
