Of all the NOLA gonna NOLA things, pumping sewerage into the river to avoid dumping it on land (where it would be washed into storm drains then into the lake) seems like good decision making.

Don't try to use common sense around here. Apparently many in this thread are the same kind of people that would willingly cause a 7 car wreck to avoid hitting a squirrel in the road.

Good thing they did not do it or it really would have blown up.

You never read headlines like this for cities like Dallas, Houston and Austin.

Polute the Mississippi River, and everything downstream of New Orleans including waterways and fisheries because New Orleans is a cesspool and can’t maintain basic function of a major city.


Whether or not N.O. dumps shite and piss into the river there are still much more harmful substances being dumped on a constant basis. Chemical runoff from large scale Agriculture, Chemical plants, and other large factories are doing a number on the lower Ms. River Delta, near shore, and offshore waters.

It was a consideration. It didn't happen.



The very fact that it was considered is a problem.

It's a New Orleans problem. It should stay in New Orleans.

It is the emergency plan in case of a failure. Luckily the valve was able to be reopened.

Apparently, their permitting allows for such a situation.

There's a new thread every day about something fricked up happening in New Orleans. Let the place sink into the ground, what a shitehole.

As someone who fishes lower Plaquemines and eats seafood that comes from downriver of New Orleans, I'd rather the sewage in the streets.

NOLA residents want to keep electing shitty politicians, then they can live with the shite they keep voting for.

I've got some bad news for you. There are far worse things in that water than some heavily diluted sewage.

Houston just recently had a massive tank farm fire with chem runoff into the ship channel

The metroplex reguarly has problems securing enough drinking water, which is only getting worse.

Austin has dirty hippies swimming in Lake LBJ

I would bet almost every municipality that discharges to a waterway has sent untreated sewage at one point.

Look what that was a response to rather than building a strawman.
