Sewage Squabble

I often hear comments about how disgusting it is, and sad, that Milwaukee dumps sewage into the Lake during heavy rainfall. Often implying that Milwaukee is unique in such a practice.

What these people, and I assume many others, are unaware of is that "a third of U.S. sewer systems are operating beyond their capacity and are regularly dumping waste into rivers and lakes."

This is a national issue, aggravated by sprawl. The more we pave over the land, it's ability to absorb declines significantly, and our waterways suffer.

Sewer Socialism

Yet another infrastructure project that could be part of a stimulus and employment plan.
