And how many gallons of water does the lake hold?

Being the shallowest it holds the least amount of all the Great Lakes.This
Cleveland business is fairly disgusting. In metro Detroit they are in the
process of upgrading all of the sanitary systems so that they don't discarge
untreated sewage into the river, then of course into the lake. They are just
about completed with the work on this end, they still have a fair amount of
work to do on Lake St. Clair. And of course, discharge of other industrial
waste is strictly forbidden these days, though they still have to deal with
sediment issues. Fortunately for us, Cleveland is downstream.

The largest single source is an estimated 5.5 billion gallons
from the
Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District, serving Cleveland and

you know where
raw sewage is being dumped in the water?"
