With over 80 warehouses in Rialto—8 of them vacant—residents are calling for parks, homes, and especially grocery stores instead of more industrial growth.

At a City Council meeting, Mayor Pro Tem Ed Scott challenged Veolia, the city’s water provider, questioning why the well remained operational despite the high levels. Scott criticized Veolia’s solution of blending water from different sources, calling it “dilution” and pushing for the well’s closure.Veolia defended their actions, claiming the spike was an “anomaly” due to the well being offline for months.The Consumer Confidence Report revealed that arsenic levels have steadily risen in Rialto, from 0.52 ppb in 2020 to 6.7 ppb in 2023. Though Veolia stated levels remain legally safe, the public health goal for arsenic is 0.004 ppb, a standard aimed at ensuring maximum safety for residents. With a 30-year contract in place since 2012, the debate over water safety and Veolia’s management continues.
