Tapping In To Clean Drinking Water Everywhere
Bringing awareness to public fountains, the safety of tap water and the issues with single use plastic bottles is a key to a healthy and environmentally sound future. The City of Los Angeles is proud to host the 2028 Olympics. WeTap’s project, 2028 for 2028, identifies 2000+ cites using scientific analysis and mapping, as well as common sense to improve access to public drinking fountains in Los Angeles, focusing on outdoor public locations with high value to communities.
San Diego Has A Cross Border Sewage Problem
For decades, raw sewage from Tijuana, Mexico has, and continues, to flow across the border into San Diego, California. This discharge flows into the Tijuana River Valley, and ultimately to the Pacific Ocean. This pollution has negatively impacted the Tijuana River Valley and the Tijuana River Estuary, one of the last remaining estuaries in California, and the beaches. Unhealthy concentrations of fecal indicator bacteria has forced the County of San Diego to close 10 miles of beach access from the US-Mexico Border all the way to the beaches of Coronado.
