Baykeeper Secures Agreement from Millbrae to Control Sewage Spills to the Bay

San Francisco Baykeeper has successfully secured an agreement with the City of Millbrae to dramatically reduce its sewage spills to creeks and the Bay. Baykeeper sued Millbrae last year for spilling thousands of gallons of raw sewage in violation of the Clean Water Act.

Under our agreement, Millbrae will make substantial improvements to its aging infrastructure over the next six years and invest $525,000 in projects to help restore the health of the Bay watershed. Read more about Baykeeper's latest legal action to prevent sewage spills to the Bay.

The Ongoing BP Disaster in the Gulf

San Francisco Baykeeper has joined with the Waterkeeper Alliance to support and provide technical assistance to the six Gulf Coast Waterkeepers currently responding to the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico – now estimated to have released between 75 to 125 million gallons of oil.

The Gulf Coast Waterkeepers are working to track and mitigate the impacts of the oil spill as it spreads throughout the fragile coastal ecosystems of Texas, Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi and Florida.
