“There have been instances of sewage flowing into the streets and entering people’s homes."

CNN is included in the cable package. Hard to get rid of it.

Good. Hoist them upon their own petards.

The EPA is hell on wheels in fining farmers and small towns for not treating run off rain water, while San Fran is discharging billions of gallons of untreated sewage into the ocean. It’s time to apply the law to our major cities that treat rivers and oceans as their sewers.

It’s worse than that! San Francisco has one of the few combined municipal sewer / street wastewater systems in the country (maybe the only one). You get really noxious vapors wafting up from all the city street grates (it’s one of the first things a new visitor to the city notices — after all the bums, needles, and poop, of course).

The system has a finite capacity and it is exceeded during heavy rainfalls. When that happens, the storm-caused surge makes the system overflow raw sewage into the bay.

I’m very glad to see the feds using the liberal-loved EPA to go after SF. Now if only they would go further and make them get rid of this antiquated sewer design. It would probably cost $500 billion to fix it.

San Francisco people must like this. They're willing to tolerate it.

BTW, what's the big deal about dumping it into the ocean? I thought they just left it on the streets.

Environmentalists - pass thousands of laws to “protect the Earth” and then fail to have enough money to upkeep your infrastructure, resulting in raw sewage flowing into ocean.

California wastes all its money and ignores the basic services required.

Maybe that’s why the Abolone grow so big?

"have diverted substantial volumes of raw and partially-treated sewage to flow across the beaches and into the San Francisco Bay and the Pacific Ocean”

If you keep voting Democrat, California, you will deserve what you get.

Years ago, when I was far from wealthy, I lived in a very old neighborhood on a large river. I needed to replace my septic tank. The plumber told me that, in years gone by, the household waste was dumped into the river through buried pipes, that the pipes where still there, and that it would be far cheaper to reconnect to those pipes and dump it again into the river than to replace the septic tank. Even though I could hardly afford to replace the septic tank, I said: "Absolutely not!" and replaced the septic tank. I had no intention of polluting the river and causing such a health hazard. (It didn't even occur to me to wonder what could happen if I were caught doing such a thing.)

Today the Sacramento River is an open sewer? A dangerous health hazard?

It boggles the mind that San Francisco and Los Angeles people can't seem to comprehend how deep into the abyss of decadence they have descended and continue to descend. It is truly a mass psychosis with a mass denial of psychotic magnitude.

Some of my closest and dearest relatives are California leftists. They cannot understand what's going on. It's like Candide: "This is the best of all possible worlds," as their world falls in shambles around them.

Some of them adore Gavin Newsome and Barack Obama. Some say: "Well, I think anyone who wants to come to this country to better theirself should be allowed to do so," and "I would never watch Fox News." Some get up early to watch MSNBC berate President Trump. Some say, about owning guns: "Oh! I think such things should be left to the police!" (to which my wife has replied: "Out here in the Middle of Nowhere? I don't think so)."

It is amazing how willfully blind they are to what's gong on. Some are activists who are openly promoting all this leftist decadence and madness. These are not bad people. They are good people, intelligent and educated.

It's like a horrible plague from the Dark Ages. When decadence infects a civilization, some people succumb to it. Some don't.

Isn’t one of the RULES FOR RADICALS make your opponents live by their own rules.

The left pushes environmentalism all the time. So if a farmer can be fined for over spray that gets into water, then the city should be fined for allowing people to crap in the street and allow run off to flow to the ocean.

So either the feces are on the street or in the ocean. San Francisco Democrats cannot govern. How can they manage the entire United States when they cannot even govern their local communities.

I guess the city streets were full and no other place to dump the stuff.

All that Clean Water Act stuff is for we serfs in flyover country, not the Nobility in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, etc. It's all the fault of the serfs.

So you serfs get tiny toilets, don't water your garden, and disconnect the ice maker in your fridge. Most of all, stop sending your sewage across the Rockies to San Francisco.

Leftists aren’t satisfied just to live in their own sewer; they insist on pumping it out everywhere else too.

SF is a good start, but last I knew it had the fourth filthiest beaches in the state...

Looks to me like every coastal major metro in CA is dumping raw sewage into the ocean.

This was NOT because of the Lack of maintenance, They Did it INTENTIONALLY and all City Leaders should be held Criminally Liable. Just like they would do to a private citizen

Wait. What are the penalties for violating a government "Act"? And who is going to be arrested?

HA! Riiiight. Nobody. Some poor schmuck farmer can be arrested and jailed for digging a hole to collect rain water on his propt but a governmental agency walks away with impunity for actually harming the environment.
