At a City Council meeting, Mayor Pro Tem Ed Scott challenged Veolia, the cityโs water provider, questioning why the well remained operational despite the high levels.
Scott criticized Veoliaโs solution of blending water from different sources, calling it โdilutionโ and pushing for the wellโs closure.Veolia defended their actions, claiming the spike was an โanomalyโ 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 Veoliaโs management continues. Visit IECN.com to read the full story.

On September 9 at 3:12 PM, a three-alarm fire broke out at Christian Baptist Church in the 900 block of N. F Street, San Bernardino. The fire, which started outside, quickly spread from the basement to the attic due to windy conditions and structural challenges.
Over ten engines and multiple crews battled the blaze for more than two hours, using ladder pipes and hose lines to contain the fire. Despite their efforts, the church was severely damaged, leading to an emergency tear-down by San Bernardino Code Enforcement. A firefighter was injured and taken to a local hospital. The cause of the fire is still under investigation. Visit IECN.com for more!

๐ข๐ซ๐ ๐๐ฉ๐๐๐ญ๐: Sept. 8th, 9 AM - There are currently 35,405 structures threatened, including single and multi-family homes, commercial buildings, and other minor structures. Currently 628 personnel are assigned to the fire. Hot and dry conditions mixed with thunderstorms are expected to challenge firefighters for the next few days. The fire is still 0% contained at 17,500+ acres.Thunderstorm outflow winds are causing erratic behavior on the Line Fire, and vegetation is critically dry. Today there is a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms over the fire area. Itโs starting out under smoky skies, which will help moderate fire behavior, but as smoke clears through the afternoon, fire activity will amplify.Smoke remains a challenge for aircraft, limiting access to parts of the fire. Limited resources and logistical support have hampered fire control efforts. Afternoon thunderstorms could cause new ignitions and potentially influence activity around the fire perimeter. The Governorโs Office has declared the #LineFire a State of Emergency and has garnered assistance from Los Angeles County Fire Department. #highland #wildfire #fire #calfire #stateofemergency #news #firefighter #inlandempire #highlandfire

The actions depicted in the video are under investigation to ensure a complete understanding of the situation. We recognize the publicโs concern and interest in this matter and ask for patience as we conduct a meticulous investigation.โ
