Environment / Water

Walking the PB boardwalk at sunset.  Jogging around Mission Bay.  Taking the family down to the Harbor.  The very cornerstone of the San Diego experience is built around our incredible natural resources.   For posterity, and the future of San Diego as a world-class city, we must be vigilant in protecting our local environment.

The City of San Diego has the largest sewage treatment plant in the country that does not meet clean water standards.  Every day we dump 170,000,000 gallons of only partially treated sewage into the Pacific Ocean.  We need to address this issue NOW.

We happen to live in an arid climate that depends upon water from other parts of the state and country.  These resources are coming dangerously close to being depleted.  For San Diego's survival, we must find sustainable ways to continue supplying water to our neighborhoods.  Although boo-hoo'ed by past downtown politicians, me must implement water reuse.  The water we currently use in San Diego has already been used and treated by such places as Las Vegas.  Water reuse is a safe, cost effective method of providing water to San Diego.  We can not delay any longer.
