Culver City Among 20 Facing Threat of Fines Over Bacterial Standards

The Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board sent strongly worded notices of violation yesterday to 20 Southland cities — including Culver City — to clean up their act and stop polluting Santa Monica Bay.

The cities of Santa Monica, Los Angeles and Malibu are among those threatened with fines of up to $10,000 per day if their beaches continue to fail to meet federal bacterial standards. The notices of violation mark the first time nationally that an oversight body has threatened fines to ensure cities’ compliance with beach bacteria limits and clean water standards.
