Brookings and Newport have knocked down bacteria numbers at Mill Beach and Nye Beach by hunting down cross connections between sewers and storm water pipes and working with local Surfrider Foundation members. In the meantime, Cannon Beach issues continue at Ecola court outfall and local members have been frustrated with the lack of public warnings despite the known contamination. The City of Cannon Beach has been active in trying to source the bacteria, but has yet to develop a plan for communicating the issue or involving the public in solutions...much to the dismay of ocean users, local residents and beachgoers. Will someone get sick or will the city get savvy to notification?
