In a rain event like that from Louisiana to Florida up through Birmingham where it rain the last few days every system had SSOs, and if none were reported then they are not being honest. No it does not make it right but that is what happens when people hook french drains and storm drain from there yards and houses into the sewer system. The systems of today are way more efficient then just a few years ago. Just more are being reported so the press hears about it more. Wastewater plants had bypass valves legally in there permit, if you have a problem that could flood homes or damage property the would open the valve straight to the river, creek or bay. Most homes use to dump there grey water straight into the ditch never in sewer only bathroom toilet water. Look it up and compare. The waters are way cleaner.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7862220451874774534.post-59183070460004866382017-01-07T08:03:34.076-06:002017-01-07T08:03:34.076-06:00This is a prime example of the new moratorium on d...This is a prime example of the new moratorium on development expansion.Yet the motor lodge installation was approved on 104.OK now who is going to service that system.Most of the infrastructure has been limited by the lack of and misappropriation of funds by the previous Mayors and councils.Now we have a repudiative issue with in the new expansion s the old system in the fruit and nut district is still old clay pipe.The other influence is home owners who consistently believe they own to the road side not the LOT line and that their planted trees on city right of way interfere with proper maintenance to the root system intrudes into the older system causing unnessary failures.Problematic for decades and will require decades to remedy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7862220451874774534.post-40900943235325027882017-01-07T07:23:29.101-06:002017-01-07T07:23:29.101-06:00Infrastructure concerns abound.Infrastructure concerns abound.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7862220451874774534.post-7564568670970165552017-01-06T20:38:31.283-06:002017-01-06T20:38:31.283-06:00I find this somewhat disturbing.

I am so happy that we have a new Mayor who appears to be attempting to shine some light/get some answers about these critical issues, all the while new subdivisions and apartments have been approved left and right. I am optimistic about the future if Mayor Wilson is not run off by morons.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
