Sewer Explosion March 1, 2014

Yes, Anita, and it's all over the place where they put lime and dirt down; then they plan on scraping up and dumping the contaminated dirt behind the big red & white NO DUMPING signs. Then, all that nasty POOP and related bacteria will go into our ground water and contaminate it.

DB-at this moment, I am calling you "overly-sensitive' (perhaps with good reason).   You are splitting hairs..everyone is aware of Larabee's report which is why people are concerned. No one would ever be gullible enough to accept a technical statment made by a non-professional.   Put your Big Boy pants on!

So, in your opinion, is SLohA is not performing good maintenance on the sewer system?   Who maintains the sewer system and is that regular or "when needed"?  When the engineer said we need to put $125K into reserves yearly for "routine good maintenance" what kinds of actitivities does that money pay for?  And what about contributions to the Reserves for REPLACEMENT.  Does SLohA believe that the plant will NEVER need to be replaced if the recommended maintenance, costing $125K per year, is performed?  And, if yes, where is that opinion documented??

This is serious.  I have never heard of a sewer system blowing up and creating a massive hazmat.   You seem to have a great interest in this sewer system.  Why do YOU think this explosion happened? Is an investigation from an outside agency appropriate? How would the engineers, who said "all is well with routine maintenance" explain this?

While on another purpose, I happened to run across Maintenance isolating the sewage explosion.  Someone very rudely shouted something like "Take a picture of  THIS"--but on close inspection, "THIS" was so tiny that it would not show up in a photo!

I am in the area by the Sewer Plant several times a day and there is almost NEVER a time where you CANT smell the stench escaping from the plant .

I wonder if our brilliant bod has maybe considered spending mega bucks on a fire suppression system for a soon to come methane explosion instead of just correcting the problem ?

They do seem to put the cart before the horse, such as with the Illegal Internet .

I am told by a reliable source that a report was made to EPA.  Thank goodness there are folks who have a sense of community responsibility and awareness that the environment is fragile and precious and needs to be protected against humans who treat it carelessly.
