A little late on the news report here but I thought I would still share some of my thoughts. In the article below, we have a story about a wastewater treatment plant catching fire and disrupting one of the pipes leading to a wastewater spill into the Hudson River. The city of New York had to issue a health advisory due to the spill.
Now, how is it that after centuries of handling wastewaters, we still haven't been able to come up with safer, more eco-friendly ways of cleaning these waters for the benefit of al? These are the types of things that cities and governments should spend on to avoid these types of scenarios so you don't have to smell a compiled pool of everybodies processed culinary arts. Pretty gross right? Hopefully it inspires you to look into how your city treats and manages your neighborhoods because again, everything leads to the ocean.
