Letter:
WLSSD has run out
of excuses
Duluth News Tribune
- 8/10
I
see the paper reporting yet another overflow incident at the Western
Lake Superior Sanitary District sewage treatment facility. Enough
already!
What's
the problem out there? If they were a factory who dumped "millions
of gallons" of pollutants into the river/bay/lake, do you
think we would all be looking the other way?
And
what do we hear from Executive Director Kurt Soderberg? "This
is a big blow to us, considering all the work that we've done
to keep this from happening."
A
blow to you? Hey Kurt, I don't know about you, but I prefer my
drinking water sans the secondhand Charmin.
Oops,
we did it again ain't cuttin' it.
Blame
it on residential rain runoff (which, by the way, I thought you
guys were addressing), or the power went out and the backup failed.
Boy.
I'm
sure glad WLSSD doesn't run the hospital. Hate to have my oxygen
cut off in the middle of the operation.
Look,
I'm no engineer, and I realize that money is tight, but this is,
pure (or not so pure) and simply unacceptable. Fix it.

Rapp,
