Feds, state accuse S.F. of dumping sewage into bay, ocean for years
The federal and state governments accused San Francisco on Wednesday of discharging huge amounts of untreated wastewater and sewage into the bay and the ocean for many years, violating environmental laws and endangering beach-goers and aquatic life. … And they said it’s been getting worse: In the rainy season from October 2022 to March 2023, more than 4 billion gallons were spewed into the waters. The lawsuit seeks court orders requiring the city to change its practices, and hundreds of millions of dollars in penalties to be paid to the federal and state governments.
