Mayor James Ireton Jr. is pleased to announce a demonstration tomorrow at 1pm at the corner of Church Street and Isabella Street. He will be introducing the installation of 74 additional innovative stormwater management products for the Wicomico River. The FloGuard Plus Catch Basin Inset Filters will be installed at various locations throughout the City. They are designed to catch the trash and runoff headed for the Wicomico River.
In support of efforts to improve the health of the Wicomico River, these insert filters will decrease the amount of contaminants in storm water runoff. In May 2012, 31 of the inserts were installed. Since then, some the filters have had to be replaced due to the amount of petroleum runoff they have captured. There will now be over 100 collections systems in place.
The Inlet inserts, are supplied and installed by KriStar/Americast Enterprises, Inc. This insert project is made possible through a grant
from Community Development Block Grant and the Federal HUD
program. Attached are the geographic locations and physical
descriptions of the trash collection systems.

Are they going after the people dumping oil in the drains?
ReplyDeleteJust another waste of tax payers money. That homosexual mayor could care less about the health of the river.
ReplyDeleteThey will require a person or personnel to monitor, clean, maintain and change the filters. Of course none of that is covered in the grant.
ReplyDeleteDoesn't stop the ignorant people that live in the area from throwing trash in the river.

ReplyDeleteeveryone remember that when the new 6 foot pipe to the river went in we could have bought the type of catch basins that didn't need inserts and would be maintenance free.
But, Ireton said NNOOOOOOOOOOO!
Creating jobs, one sewer at a time.
