San Francisco BaykeeperAfter we found that Sunnyvale & Mountain View's runoff to creeks & streams of the Bay contained high levels of E. coli, we filed a lawsuit under the #CleanWaterAct.
But rather than work to clean up their pollution, the cities have dragged the litigation for years and made decisions behind closed doors to undermine the Clean Water Act.

Do the Right Thing, Sunnyvale and Mountain View
Over several years, Baykeeper’s field team sampled the stormwater runoff coming off the streets of Sunnyvale and Mountain View. We found that the cities’ runoff contained levels of E. coli bacteria that were as much as 50 times what’s legally allowed – and these discharges were polluting local creeks and rivers. So, we filed a lawsuit under the Clean Water Act to get the cities to stop contaminating these waters, which are home to fish and wildlife and provide recreational enjoyment for many residents.
