San Francisco recently achieved a legal victory against the EPA in a Supreme Court case focused on its aging sewer system that causes pollution during stormwater events. The decision, which came down to a narrow 5-4 vote, illustrated unusual alliances among justices and spotlighted the politically charged nature of environmental issues. Supervisor Myrna Melgar emphasized that locals are concerned about untreated waste affecting their water quality, suggesting a need for a more focused approach to environmental regulations that avoid politicization.
"I would bet that most San Franciscans don't enjoy having untreated shit in their water," says Supervisor Myrna Melgar, urging the city to avoid further legal battles over the Clean Water Act.
San Francisco bested the Environmental Protection Agency in a case that worked its way all the way up to the United States Supreme Court, marking a significant victory.
