Water

Sewage spill, they say don't go in the water south of Croton.
 
Saw it in the paper this morning, they said "chlorinated waste" , hoping that better than non- chlorinated waste.

That SUCKs !!!!
 
I used to work for Orangetown sewer dept. as an engineer when I first got out of college. "Chlorinated waste" when I worked there was essentially 2 guys throwing pool chlorine into the pit at the last pump station before it went out into the river.

My second day on the job there was a force main break on the mountain behind Piermont. I was handed a pair of big boots and sent out there with a crew to investigate. Walking in 10" of crap water is pretty nasty. I then went down to the pump station in south Nyack and watched 2 guys chlorinating with buckets of pool chemicals. The chlorine will kill some bacteria, but the solids and everything that chlorine won’t kill just heads right out. I constantly remind my kids to always swim with your mouth closed.

Gives new meaning to "watch out for floating logs" in the Hudson!

If they dont get off there high horses there are going to be alot more over there. A very large system and very old. Need lots of money to get the system updated.
