The current sewer pipeline frequently fails during heavy rains, resulting in flooding on both sides of the border. These floods and mismanagement have reportedly filled the Oso Wash with sewage.
Nogales, Ariz. — As the International Boundary and Water Commission continues to address flooding and sanitation concerns at the border, a citizens group is inviting public participation.
Arizona Department of Environmental Quality officials say they're working collaboratively with interested parties on both sides of the border to"identify a nature-based mitigation alternative for the Arizona side of the Oso Wash." The ADEQ is currently developing a plan to implement green infrastructure in the watershed, using strategies which involve bioswales and rain gardens to capture stormwater and manage flooding.The Southeast Arizona Citizen Forum will get an update at its next meeting from the ADEQ over the international effort to find solutions at the wash, which runs east of Nogales. Members of the public are invited to attend the next Citizen Forum on Thursday, Feb. 9, which is held as an online webinar.
A separate plan is currently underway to complete repairs to the sewer pipeline which carries wastewater over the international boundary. The pipeline frequently experiences failure during heavy rains, resulting in flooding on both sides of the border, and outflows of wastewater into the streets and natural waterways.Anne Simmons is a digital content producer for KGUN 9.
