43,000 Gallons Of Sewage Just Doesn't Flow!
No matter what they say, (Mayor and John Jacobs) I'll never buy the fact that only 43,000 gallons of raw sewage leaked into the roads, bypassed "ALL" sewage drains in that road, hopped the curbs and then ran another 400 to 500 yards or more across land and then over to the river!
As these pictures will clearly show you, the Mayors "theory" is not at all accurate. The Daily Times never questioned it and actually pampered this story in my opinion. This is a very serious matter and this could have and should have been avoided.
At 9:00 PM a worker noticed this coupling leaking and knew there was a problem. At 1:00 AM the coupling burst and things get blurry from there. They claim it was contained within 15 minutes but you know me folks, I buy that like I believe Jim Rapp is now using foot baths at the Zoo.
Most pools in the area are some 30,000 gallons +. If your pool burst, would it fill up the entire road, offer so much pressure that it would bypass the sewer drains in the roads and pop over top the curbs and then run some 500 yards across land and into the river? NOT! Sometimes it's better to create the picture in a whole new light so every day citizens can see just why this is such a bunch of BS.
They didn't contain this in 15 minutes! Since it made it to the river and leaked some 43,000 gallons into the river, this was far more serious than they want you to know and the MDE better use their heads and do something about these liars. No matter what, now you have a better idea as to what really happened and this Blog Site isn't buying one ounce of what they claim.
