Good news for El Pescadero?

If the Gringo Gazette is to be believed, there will soon be a sewage treatment plant in El Pescadero, just south of Todos Santos. It would be nice not to have to navigate El Rio Negro when driving down the road to Baja Beans.

Paul,

Is that what that is? It looked like agricultural runoff. The 1st couple hundred meters were wet today.

Sadly, it's been this way for awhile. The responsibility for identifying the source of the issue and then actually fixing it has been a ping-pong ball for several years. I'd be surprised if a solution is as close as the article made it seem. I wonder if @monoloco or @pacificobob could confirm that confirm that the project has begun.

El Rio Negro? How perfectly named. Yuk.

It is past time the large scale developers paid some attention to the land they are developing and avoid spoiling the very essence of the good life they promote. Easy for me to say.

Any individual builders like some here usually take this into consideration without prodding and good on all of you. It is the right thing to do.

It was when I built on the East Cape thirty years ago. I hope that consciousness has been widely applied in the decades since.

Anyone who truly cares and builds in Baja would do all they can to preserve what they located there to begin with.

Todos Santos and Pescadero have had the privilege, and it is a gift of privilege to have had excellent artesian ground water to draw from.

That hopefully will not be spoiled and preserved by an at long last local water treatment plant.

I''ll believe it when I see it. The cesspool has been there for years. A friend helped with a vehicle accident across the road from the intersection and got into the muck. Got Hep and turned yellow.

Then there's Loreto. Years there to. Smell is along the Malecon down from the Mision Hotel.

Never been priority to these people.

I think it is silly to say that people have not prioritized it. The collection and treatment infrastructure is quite expensive, it takes a strong economy to provide sufficiently large tax base and public will to tax/spend to solve waste/pollution problems.

Maybe prioritize is the wrong word. I could say I don't think enough citizens care enough to fix sewer problems. As in ''yeah it needs to be fixed but it's not hurting anyone.''

Right.

Loreto has a strong enough economy to fix the sewer problem at the Malecon. If the owners of The Mision Hotel cared enough, problem would be solved.
