Yup, the SMUGNESS of the POLITICALLY-CORRECT SANCTUARY for illegals and gays and PIOUS PONTIFICATORS of ENVIRO-CULTISM sure have a STINK PROBLEM!!!
"Sewage fouling treasured S.F. Bay; Decrepit pipes, systems to blame" by Jason Dearen, Associated Press | February 27, 2009
SAN FRANCISCO - Last weekend, 890,000 gallons of raw sewage and stormwater spilled into San Francisco Bay from an overloaded, World War II-era treatment plant. Five days earlier, a ruptured pipe released 400,000 gallons of filth into the bay.
Yeah, TOO BAD we are WASTING TRILLION upon TRILLIONS on WAR and BANK LOOTINGS!!!!
And those were just the big spills the public heard about. On average, human waste spills into San Francisco Bay more than five times a day, fouling the waters and shorelines of this environmental jewel and recreational treasure.
It's not funny; however, there is somehow a thread of justice in the predicament.
Decrepit pipes, outdated municipal sewage treatment systems, and poor upkeep have been blamed for many of the spills into one the world's most famous and beautiful natural harbors. And some of the Bay Area's wealthiest communities have been identified as some of the most persistent polluters....
Hey, the WORLD is their TOILET -- literally!!!!!
Some spills have been blamed not only for killing large numbers of fish but for causing respiratory infections, skin and eye irritation, and diarrhea in swimmers.
That sure is some STRONG SHIT!!!!
Signs warning against water contact are a common sight at beaches and marinas for those who swim, fish, or sailboard in the bay, especially after storms....
Here are some stories as you sit on the shore!
On Sunday and Monday, the more than half-century-old sewage system of the east San Francisco Bay city of Richmond was overloaded by rain and spewed 890,000 gallons of filth mixed with rainwater. Officials said the system's deteriorating, leaky clay pipes cannot handle the extra load after a storm.
On Feb. 17, a 23-year-old pipe ruptured along the shoreline of Sausalito in well-to-do Marin County and sent a 400,000-gallon plume of waste into the bay, forcing health warnings on nearby beaches for more than a week and the closing of a fishing pier. Officials blamed shoddy workmanship and corrosion.
Not NEGLECT, huh? Where did all those tax revenues go, California?
"A number of California jurisdictions have let their infrastructure age beyond the breaking point," said William L. Rukeyser, a state water board spokesman.
I'll bet they would like some of that war loot back.
In January 2008, a 2.5-million-gallon sewage spill in Marin County led to fines by the state and federal government and beach closings north of the Golden Gate Bridge. Regulators accused the Sewerage Agency of Southern Marin of holding on to almost $550,000 that could have been used for maintenance for preventing such spills.
It's the same everywhere, folks.

And last month, the Environmental Protection Agency ordered the East Bay Municipal Utility District - which provides sewer service to about 10 cities, including hardscrabble Oakland, wealthy Walnut Creek, the environmentally conscious college town of Berkeley, and middle-class Hayward - to spend $2 million a year to fix leaky pipes.
What, the ENVIRO-LECTURERS WASTING WATER?
PFFFFFFFFFTTTT!!!!
The EPA this week released $283 million in economic stimulus money earmarked for sewage system upgrades in California. But that is only a fraction of the needed repairs. San Jose alone has a sewage treatment plant that is more than 50 years old and a $1 billion, 10-year plan to fix it.
But WARS and BANK GIVEAWAYS will be FULLY- and OVER-FUNDED!!!!!!!!
