I'm hauling this down to the coast tomorrow. It's destined for Baton Rouge (~450 gallons of drinking water)

can’t wait for the local mayor to confiscate this so he can finally have a hot tub to relax

They crammed 800 nursing home patients into an old underwear factory with mattresses on the floor and 4 people died. Many got sick and overheated.

Well look at that, they did learn something from katrina. That it's a real bitch dealing with the cleanup of water logged corpses in your facility so better to load em up on buses and dump them in a warehouse instead of say driving them to a hotel in Texas or whatever. Incredible.

No it doesn't. It's a wastewater plant, so it stops your poop from going into the river. Does not provide your drinking water.

quote:

When sewage loads exceed the capacity of the Newtown Creek Sewage Treatment Facility trash, pesticides, petroleum products, PCBs, mercury, cadmium, lead, pathogenic microorganisms, and nutrients which reduce the dissolved oxygen content of the water are dumped into Newtown Creek. This dumping is referred to as a combined sewer overflow or CSO. CSOs can be triggered by as little as a tenth of an inch of rain.

Essentially anything that gets washed into the gutters from the street, anything that households and businesses flush down the toilet or dump down the drain, has a fair chance of being expelled directly into Newtown Creek or New York Harbor untreated. In New York City a CSO event occurs once a week on average, discharging approximately 500 million gallons of raw sewage directly into New York Harbor. CSOs are the single largest impairment to the quality of New York City's waters.

What’s your question?

Cities built in the last century or so have two sets of underground tubes: one for human waste that goes to treatment plants, one for storm drains that flows downhill to the nearest body of water.

New York City and other old cities have one set of tubes. This originally just emptied into the nearest body of water. Now we attempt to treat all the water in the system, but treatment capacity is easily overwhelmed by modest rainfall. At that point, both sewage and rainwater bypass the treatment facility and end up in the water around Manhattan.

Also that plant would have absolutely nothing to do with why the tap water smells funny

There's flooding around Gaspé, Québec this morning after the river overflowed... this is right near the Gulf of Saint Lawrence.
My wife is at her son's place over there right now and as I was worried about Larry heading north my wife sent me this:

https://i.imgur.com/MnMxNCK.mp4

Needless to say, there's not supposed to be water visible in this video.
There's evacuations in some parts, city's telling them to stay put for now and that they'll come get them if need be. Water seems to be slowing down.

Saguenay is a bit further down the Saint-Lawrence but yeah. I'm looking at Larry real anxiously as my wife tells me the road is flooded both ways and they don't expect to get out of there for a couple of days at least.

something can't be technically not kosher, the kosherness is a ruling on the technicalities itself, not what an armchair rabbi thinks

this was an absolutely bizarre thing for them to do. it’s literally only setting up people to be disappointed when they eventually don’t need their own NLT dates.

they’re saying it’s gonna take til Sept. 29th for Terrebonne to get power fully back but I would not be surprised if that is blown out of the water down the bayou.
