Salisbury News was the first to break the news about the WWTP having issues. The photo above was taken just moments ago on Riverside Drive. We were told today ASAP was on Fitzwater Drive today pumping out that lift station and now they've brought in light units to illuminate Riverside Drive tonight.
This Mayor and the former Mayor have absolutely proven they cannot manage our City and its infrastructure.
Yeah, we'll be swimming in the Wicomico River in 10 years, right Jim Ireton, NOT! How about we just do a major fundraiser and build a massive community pool and stop BS'ing the public like O'Malley and the Chesapeake Bay.
By the way, WBOC is flying their chopper above. Seems they can't survive without getting their news first from Salisbury News just like the rest of the local Media.

How can and why would Jim Ireton and the City Council hire know convict like Ray Lewis, owner of A.S.A.P. to haul anything with tax payer funding. A full investigation should be done on this and someone should be held accountable.
Here is one of your previous stories.
Tuesday, February 19, 2008More Information on the Theft of Goods from Wicomico County
The following are more details relating to the theft of various goods from the Taxpayers of Wicomico County which were relayed to me by Joe Albero. Joe is currently out at A.S.A.P. Septic Service on Forest Grove Rd.
Pursuant to a 12 month investigation by the Wicomico County Sheriff's Office and the Wicomico County Bureau of Investigation, Sheriff Mike Lewis conducted a traffic stop at approximately 9:00 p.m. on 2/18/08 on a box truck which was travelling west on Rt. 50, west of Shorebirds Stadium in Parsonsburg, MD. The truck was subsequently searched and found to contain approx. 500 gals. of diesel fuel, tires, and misc. stolen truck parts.
A short time later, two search warrants were executed. One at the business address of Ray Lewis Construction and A.S.A.P. Septic Service on Forest Grove Rd. in Parsonsburg, MD, and the other at the office of Wicomico County Public Works in Salisbury.
The search of the Forest Grove Rd. premises revealed two large warehouse sized buildings filled from floor to ceiling with large containers of diesel fuel, tires, and truck parts which apparently belong to Wicomico County. It is believed that these items were intended for distribution in and around Maryland and Delaware.
Ray Lewis has been arrested. Three employees of Wicomico County are being questioned and it has been said that they are cooperating fully with police. Future arrests may involve some employees of the businesses owned by Ray Lewis.
Wicomico County is currently working on assembling a fleet of dump trucks to retrieve and transport the stolen items so that they can be stored on County property.
There will be a press conference at 3:00 p.m. today which, I understand, will clearly show the magnitude of the crime involved here.
More information to come as the case unfolds.

WBOC had a truck here yesterday morning and they were going door-to-door looking for someone to interview. When they could find no one willing to praise the Mayor for all his hard work cleaning up this mess they packed up and left.
I was told that GMB was the only firm capable of designing a new Fitzwater Pump Station in 2010. Why isn't the design completed and the new pump station built? Sound to me like cronyism at it's best.
City Hall needs pumped out to!
See Ya T!
Wasn't GMB the same firm that settled on a law suit in regard to the infamous WWTP debackle?
I doubt we need what they have to offer. Now there isn't anyone that wants to deal with it, the word is out and we probably couldn't pay enough for a director that can fix it!
Anyone qualified doesn't need the problems we have here and a know-it-all mayor that can't get out of his own way on their butt for trying to do their job.
