  1. In a major win for South Bay creeks, a federal judge has ruled that Mountain View and Sunnyvale violated the Clean Water Act by allowing raw sewage to flow into Stevens and Calabazas creeks--and that they must take steps to fix the problem.

    "There were persistent high levels of bacteria and human fecal matter in their stormwater discharges throughout the system," as Baykeeper managing attorney Eric Buescher told NBC Bay Area News.

    Now, Baykeeper and the cities will present the judge with suggestions about how to address the problem. The judge is expected to issue a decision on that some time this summer.

  6. Four Bay Area beaches are among 10 of the dirtiest in CA, as our partners at Heal the Bay report.

    And San Francisco accounts for A LOT of coastal California's sewage spills.

    Last year, the EPA & CA joined us in suing SFPUC for its 500+ Clean Water Act violations, including bypassing treatment systems and failing to maintain required treatment capacity during storms.

  11. Serious water pollution incidents up 60% in #England, Environment Agency says

    Esme Stallard, July 18, 2025

    Excerpt: "Every year the Environment Agency records the number of times pollution such as untreated sewage is released from water company sites such as treatment works into the country's waterways.

    Just three companies were responsible for the vast majority of the most serious incidents - #ThamesWater (33), #SouthernWater (15) and #YorkshireWater (13).

    " 'These figures expose a brutal truth. Serious #pollution incidents are rising, #sewage discharges remain rampant, and our rivers are spiralling toward #EcologicalCollapse. This is not just regulatory failure; it is a national disgrace,' said #RiverAction CEO James Wallace."

  16. SF dumps millions of gallons of sewage during big storms -- not cool, guys!! 💩 ⛈️ ☔️

    As our executive director Sejal Choksi-Chugh told KQED, discharge areas are sacrifice zones where the city has nowhere else to release polluted water.

    "They're not allowed to be discharging this much bacteria and pollution into the Bay, yet they are doing it."
