Press Release

Date: June 7, 2018
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Infrastructure Environment

Today, U.S. Congressman Scott Peters (CA-52) released the following statement after the passage of the Water Resources Development Act, which authorizes water-related studies and projects, that includes projects to support San Diego and California's water infrastructure and policies to support ports, waterways, and environmental protection and restoration:

"Our infrastructure is crumbling. The American Society of Civil Engineers gives America's infrastructure a D+. This bill will reinforce ports, waterways, and water infrastructure in California and across the country--an investment in resiliency and water security for our communities. It also directs the Army Corps of Engineers to expedite a study of the Tijuana River's flood risk management and ecosystem restoration, a step forward in mitigating the Tijuana sewage spill. While this bill is not exactly what I would have written, it is good for California's and San Diego's long-term water security."
