Baykeeper Highlights

Baykeeper Secures Agreement from San Carlos to Control Sewage Spills, Sues San Bruno

Baykeeper successfully settled our lawsuit against the City of San Carlos for its thousands of gallons of raw sewage spills in violation of the Clean Water Act. The city will now invest in fixing its sewer system within the next seven years and address the worst problems immediately.

Baykeeper also filed suit against the City of San Bruno for its significant sewage spill problem. We intend to compel the city to undertake aggressive repairs to reduce sewage spills to local neighborhoods and the Bay. Read more about Baykeeper's recent legal action to protect the Bay from sewage spills.

The Supreme Court has refused to hear an industry appeal of Baykeeper's federal court victory to protect waterways across the country from unregulated pesticide spraying. Read The New York Times article here.
