An estimated 100,000 gallons of contaminated water/sewage was dumped from the WWTP into the Wicomico River! Amazing what a 2 Year Aniversary brings! Happy Anniversary Barrie, I'm Back!
UPDATE! There is a pipe that is spouting out untreated and partially treated sewage into the Wicomico River. Officials say they're not sure just how long the pipe has been leaking but they believe it happened today? HELLO! Watch 47 News tonight at 6:00 PM for more updates. The City is guestimating it being 100,000 gallons so far. Yeah, right!

Well isn't that a fine anniversary gift to give someone? 100,000 gallons of untreated waste right in the ole Wicomico. Just wait until you see the gifts that come out of that 6 foot pipe.
ReplyDeleteWowsers, what a way to say PISS ON YOU JOE ALBERO. They didn't have to dump it in the river, they could have delivered it to you in a jar.
ReplyDeleteOn another note, I believe that pipe broke yesterday as we could smell it down in Allen yesterday. It smelled like sh*t.
Hope all those SAPOA big shots living on the River just love their Barrie for providing them with "floatables" for their viewing and olfactory pleasures!
ReplyDeleteDo any FOB's have swimming pools?
ReplyDeleteWonder how we can redirect all of the WWTP overflow and flooding runoff into Johnson Pond for Barrie to enjoy?
ReplyDeleteAnyone called Dave Pushkar at MDE to get the latest?
ReplyDeleteHope Barrie's enjoying her 'conference'--she should be back here doing her job of administering the City.
THINK MDE WILL BE ALL OVER THIS ONE.Maybe we will see another vacant position.This city has got to be the worst city on the East Coast bar none.This fine should be in the millions.
ReplyDeleteIsn't that pipe discharge in the vicinity of those 500/600 thousand dollar homes.
ReplyDeleteHerb Geary can handle that mess, too, I'll bet.
ReplyDeleteJoe:
ReplyDeleteYou don't understand -- not enough personnel, not enough training. It's now the year of the Rat, right?
All kidding aside, are there any concerns of safety of local seafood. How great this for the ecological health of the bay. And everyone wants to blame farmers for runoff. Don't forget algae blooms and "dead zones". You don't have to be liberal to care about the bay's ecosystem.
ReplyDeleteNone of that's funny

How many other citys have this continued problem with the treatment plant. Whoever oversees this dept. should be fired, bottom line. Why dont we correct these issues before they happen ? This city should be hit with a fine that would make history. What a joke
ReplyDeleteI live on the river. What is a SAPOA? The birds have been going crazy all day out here. The woke me at 530am squawking and dive bombing the shoreline. There are about 8 great blues and several eagle having the time of their life and the blackbirds are some numerous several slammed into our big windows.

SAPOA is the Salisbury Area Property Owners Association aka SCUMLORDS headed up by Richard Insley, TJ Malone, Doug Church and others.
ReplyDeleteJust wait until Barrie has that 6 foot pipe installed without filtration that Debbie Campbell is fighting to get. It cost $250k for the filtration that Barrie insists the city just doesn't have. How about using some of that surplus for the filtration BARRIE? No use letting it sit around on Pam Olands desk in a pile.
Just about unbelievable! If our new PW leader is worth anything he'll see that this does not happen again. But he seemed so inept at the first council meeting for him, I doubt he'll be with us for long? This kind of lack of oversight seems to be common occurrance here in Smallsbury!

Mr. Pinto:
ReplyDeleteAnyone who eats "local seafood" from that river is already brain dead.
(sung to the tune of Otis Reddings' "Sittin' on the dock of the bay"
ReplyDelete"Watching the shit roll in.....
then I watch it roll away again....
Did somebody cut the cheese?
Oh no its a wave of butt-release
ohhh I am gaggin on da river
Smells like putrified liver...."
OK finish the song people-add your own words
Its really terrible but not a shock considering their track record in these things
Well, I guess any fines for this mess will take a chunk out of the money that was found----or the status quo will find some way to strap it further on the backs of the city taxpayers. When are we going to quit being penalized for, at the minimum, the ineptness of the some of the people charged with taking care of this city?
ReplyDeleteMaybe that's what the new found millions were being hidden to use for paying the big fine ?
ReplyDeleteThe big fine in the long term only hurts us citizens as it ultimately comes from our pockets. Head's should be rolling instead! Yeah, watch after they spend all our money burying that 6 foot pipe, in the future water samples will call for the whole pipe to be capped off and then we are right back to square one with the Camden peoples having the crap returning to their yard and flooding again.
ReplyDeleteOne step forward, two steps back is par for this city administration. It's time Mare Antoinette is beheaded.
