Local Plans to Battle Sewage Problem OKd
San Diego County supervisors on Tuesday approved a three-point package of proposals designed to lead to a permanent solution to the problems caused by sewage spilling over the border from Mexico.
By approving the package, put forth by Public Health Services Director Donald Ramras, the board did the following:
- Reaffirmed its support for securing federal money for the construction of a sewage collection and treatment plant for the border area.
- Directed the county’s chief administrative officer to assign a special coordinator to develop a plan for solving the problem.
- Agreed to inform the International Boundary and Water Commission that the board will support a proposed facility in the Smuggler’s Gulch area as an emergency measure that could become part of a long-term plan.
