Sidestepping Sewage
- Share via
This letter is in regard to the attempt of the City of Escondido and the County of San Diego to lower the way they treat the 13 million to 15 million gallons of sewage whose outfall is off Cardiff State Beach.
We are retired. Although we don’t use the ocean as much as we used to, we do enjoy walking on the beach and being part of this beach community.
When we found out that the proposed treatment (advanced primary) doesn’t rid the sewage of the virus and bacteria (as secondary does), we became quite concerned about this issue. After all, it’s very disgusting to walk on the beach and have to sidestep all the sewage that washes back on the beach, from household toilets, mortuary waste and hospital bed pans.
I guess our much-enjoyed sunsets will never seem the same if this change occurs. As property owners, we don’t want our community’s future acclaim to be Cardiff by the Sewer.
