The United States Section of the International Boundary and Water Commission (USIBWC) reported on January 11, 2024 the groundbreaking ceremony held for the project to design, construction, and rehabilitation of the San Antonio de los Buenos (SAB) Treatment plant located south of Tijuana, Mexico. The groundbreaking ceremony included the participation of US Ambassador to Mexico Ken Salazar and Baja California Governor Marina del Pilar Avila Olmeda.

The project is fully funded by Mexico at a cost of $37M USD and will include the rehabilitation of the existing SAB Treatment Plant as well as wastewater treatment upgrades. Completion of the project is scheduled for September 2024. The rehabilitated SAB Treatment Plant will treat 18 million gallons per day which will reduce the volume of untreated wastewater discharged into the ocean at SAB.
