SAN DIEGO (CNS) — The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will begin a second assessment with the county this month to re-evaluate health impacts arising from Tijuana River pollution.
According to the county, the new survey, conducted Sept. 17-19, will revisit conditions first documented in 2024 and gather updated information from a new sample of representative households.
County and CDC teams will again walk neighborhoods in the Tijuana River Valley to hear directly from residents, visiting randomly selected households Sept. 17 and Sept. 18 between 2 p.m. and 7 p.m., and Sept. 19 from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.
The follow-up assessment is intended to help identify continued health concerns, changes since 2024, and additional support needed for families living with the impacts of sewage contamination.
