Description

In progress right now, and a recurring sight in front of the businesses near this intersection, the sidewalks are being pressure washed with runoff going right into stormdrains. The workers say they are hired by ACD or similar sounding company on Broadway, apparently acting on behalf of several businesses/properties. This is not only contaminating creeks and waterways since stormdrains are leading directly to those, but also an unacceptable waste of drinking (!) water during a time of drought, and it's ILLEGAL, as I have been told by local authorities.
