EPA Sues San Francisco for Discharging Billions of Gallons of Sewage into Ocean and Bay
May 7, 2024, 06:52 PM
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has filed a lawsuit against San Francisco, accusing the city of discharging over 1.8 billion gallons of untreated sewage into the Pacific Ocean and the Bay annually since 2016. This environmental concern highlights a significant breakdown in the city's infrastructure, exacerbated by the ongoing issues of homelessness, with many homeless individuals having no access to bathrooms and resorting to dumping raw sewage into storm drains. The situation has prompted serious legal action from the EPA to address the pollution and public health risks associated with these discharges.
