Breaking News Sewage Spill Update


Now I'm told the leak was more than 170,000 gallons of Partially Treated Water/Sewage leaked into the Wicomico River through a storm drain. A large portion of the Wicomico River in the immediate area is shut down. The MDE has been contacted and this is a very serious issue.


What makes it interesting is we have received word through comments that people in Allen could actually smell it last night, yet the spill allegedly happened today?


The Wicomico County Health Department advises that swimming, fishing and water contact should be avoided in the Wicomico River from the City Park to the Upper Ferry. This advisory is in effect until further notice or when water samples show acceptable bacteria levels.

And so early in the "new" year of 2008, too!

Think of what we have to look forward for the rest of the 10+ months!

Wheee!

OMG it cracks me up to see those Mcmansions right next to the sewer plant--how freaking stupid can you get!!

You folks out there with those McMansions and everyone out in Harbor Pointe had better be taking water samples. Who knows what is in your ground water as close as you are to the WWTP.

Those McMansions actually make the WWTP look attractive.

I found a real nicely polished Indian axe very near those McMansions. The nicest one in my collection of artifacts. I would bet money that the higher ground the WWTP is on is sacred ground, and they crap all over it!
