I was not aware that any city was dumping raw sewage into the Great Lakes
as
a part of normal operations. Disgusting if true. I thought that we had a
Great Lakes agreement that made that sort of thing illegal.
Many sewage treatment plants cannot withstand the increased flow during
heavy rain storms, but that is not considered "normal" even though they
are
engineered to allow for these events.

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?"

That is true down near City Island. Once you
get to Connecticut, it's quite clean. There is
one boat at City Island that discharges directly
overboard at the dock in prodigious quantities..

That's why the Boobster has an odor and can't get employment. He
always talks about his swim platform.
