Water companies illegally dumping raw sewage through secret pipes

1. This is disgusting

2. Many years ago In Houston, Tx, there was a project to clean up Buffalo Bayou, which runs through downtown, and turn it into a tourist location.

   One of the first problems they came across was raw sewage in the bayou was dozens of times higher than legal maximums. It turned out to be a whole series of pipes from more than one extension of subdivisions near downtown that went straight to the bayou without ever going to a treatment plant. Every one of the subdivisions was a pricey luxury community.

   Of course it was cleaned up , but it added a year or more to the project.
