Cloudy Creek

Your Boulevardier was walking on Grove Way earlier today and noticed that Castro Valley Creek was very cloudy, as if someone had perhaps dumped paint into it. He tried to find the right agency to call to report this (assuming that somebody wanted to know) and found it difficult. There is a Clean Water Program, but it does not list a phone number.

After being bounced from one phone to another (all of whom answered "Public Works") a person took down the information, but did not share any information about what might happen next, or offer to follow up, or even say thank you.

Do readers have any idea who should be called next time?

I have no idea who to call about the cloudy creek. I wouldn't have thought it would be so hard to find someone to call about it.
