Solano County · 2025–2026 Civil Grand Jury

Something in Vallejo’s Air

The jury investigates construction-related wastewater odors and residents’ concerns about district outreach and governance. Four findings, including separate F1a and F1b, and three recommendations address specific alerts, disposal education and Board operational knowledge. The Vallejo Flood and Wastewater District’s July 22, 2026 response partially agrees with findings but disputes odor causation and explains its elected Board structure. Resident complaint maps and the jury’s observations are not a population health study. Existing outreach, possible governance legislation and any promised improvements are distinguished from completed implementation.
