City Council Accountability - Sewergate


4 Council Members - 7 years bad management


In the beginning......the Pacifica Waste Water Treatment Plant had structural problems, balloon financing was flaky, 50 year old (end-of-life) collection pipes throughout the city needed replacing, 50 year old (end-of-life) residential and commercial sewer laterals needed replacing.


Compounded by 7 year city council: No transparent or realistic plan to fix, money legally siphoned from the plant infrastructure to pay city bills. An optional sewer lateral replacement was established.

Current status: Waste Water Treatment Plant problems not solved 9 years later, ongoing State of CA Water Board pollution fines, now a lawsuit. Misdirected investment, and property owners pay all.

Solution: Fix the the Waste Water Treatment Plant. Do not re-elect this city council.

Speaking of to the point synopsis.. "Their Environment is our Bankruptcy" gets right to the point as you always do.

"In the beginning..." was my religious effort for the year in honor of our dear friend Lois who is always right in there helping us all the time. Thanks Lois!
