End sewage pollution at Malibu Lagoon and Surfrider Beach!

For nearly two decades, Surfrider Beach in Malibu has been one of the state's most polluted beaches, consistently receiving poor water quality grades on Heal the Bay's annual Beach Report Card. 

Commercial and residential septic tanks in the Malibu Civic Center area are a major source of pollutants into Lower Malibu Creek, Malibu Lagoon and ultimately Surfrider Beach. Last November, after many years of waiting, the Regional Water Board finally passed a prohibition on new septic systems and a phase out of the existing systems in the Malibu Civic Center Area.

On September 21st, the State Water Resources Control Board will hear the Malibu Septics Prohibition.

Your support can end sewage discharge at one of California's most chronically polluted beaches and protect the health of the over one-million swimmers and surfers who use this beach annually.

Help Heal the Bay, Surfrider, the Malibu Surfing Association and Santa Monica Baykeeper fight for clean water by signing this petition.

Tell the State Water Resources Control Board that the Malibu Civic Center area needs a centralized water recycling facility to meet wastewater needs, maintain clean water and finally stop septic systems from polluting Surfrider Beach. 

Act before September 21st to eliminate public health threats and to ensure we all have safe, healthy and clean beaches and coastal waters!
