I have been a resident on Serra Rd. for 31 years now and have been president and treasurer of our property owner’s association in past years. The residents continue to be most concerned with the pollution that has continued to get worse over the years. In my time on the board we constantly complained to the Tapia Water Treatment Plant to no avail. In fact, the State Water Resource Board continued to allow them to increase the number of gallons they could release every time they applied. We attended meetings at the plant and in downtown where the Water Resources meeting were held all to no avail. Will Stokes had a good laugh at our expense.
Only since the Surfrider Foundation and the City of Malibu and other agencies have joined in the hulla-balloo have they begun to listen, there is power in numbers! The Tapia plant must find another means to dispose of their effluent, not dump it on us.
