Default Sailing on Lake Erie

I spend summers on Lake Erie when I was a kid ( a kajillion years ago) back
when Pointe Pelee was still just a Provincial Park and not a bird sanctuary
(Jack Miner's was the sanctuary then, out by Leamington)...there wasn't a
lot of water in it then and I do believe Windsor was dumping her sewage into
the Detroit River then....

At least 8.9 billion gallons of untreated sewage flows

yearly
into Lake Erie
... - the same as if 2.5 billion toilets flushed

simultaneously
into the
lake, ....
The largest single source is an estimated 5.5 billion

gallons
from the
Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District, serving Cleveland

and
parts of 59
surrounding communities...

"It's disgusting if you think about it," he said.

"Shouldn't
you know where
raw sewage is being dumped in the water?"
