Thanks to all for coming out to last week's Newport Chapter meeting. Major thanks to guest speaker Matt Love for his inspiring talk on the history of the Beach Bill! From the recent press you've probably noted that there's a few "smoking guns" from sewage misconnects to storm drain lines that flow into Nye creek and beach. For this round of testing 7 building were identified as having their sewage lines connected. The city plans to follow up with enforcement and repair within' 30 days. Great work BWTF, we knew this day would come and we've got more to go, but that's 7 less sewer lines dumping onto our beaches. The minutes from the chapter executive and regular chapter meeting are attached below. Thanks again!
