San Bruno's Waste Water Woes Continue
Joe Capote - 02/25/2010
By now it's now secret that the city of San Bruno is experiencing issues with the current waste water infrastructure. Last week the California Regional Water Quality Control Board threatened the city with a $630,000 fine for spilling nearly 1.9 million gallons of sewage into the Bay and the Pacific Ocean. On Tuesday, a lawsuit was filed in federal court by the advocacy group San Francisco Baykeeper. Although the city has an aggressive plan to address the issues over the next ten years, the lawsuit could lead to hefty fines that the city can not afford and will detract from the city's ability to fix the issues in a timely manner. Based on the Baykeeper's litigation against other cities along the bay, the lawsuit is seen as a mechanism to get the city to address the issues and improve waste water operations.
