“A year before Greenwater Services got a $1.7 million contract to clean the algae-infected Reflecting Pool, it had received another no-bid government contract to deploy at the trash-plagued Tijuana River,” the Washington Post reports.
”Greenwater, which is owned by a Trump donor, was hired to treat sewage in the Tijuana River with its ‘nanobubble technology,’ a system that injects ozone into water.”
”But the month-long water purification pilot to evaluate the technology was cut short last October when a storm flooded the river’s banks. The remnants of machinery were washed into the border river, with diesel leaking along the way, frustrating scientists and environmentalists at federal agencies who had questioned internally whether the company’s project would work in a flood-prone area.”
