Whats the difference? Many sewage plants dump into drinking water reservoirs.
During dry spells, that’s the only makeup water.

I’ve always seen Philadelphia as an UNflushed toilet. Looks like I was wrong.

We called that a "straight pipe". Personally, I thought it was a great improvement over our previous outhouse. At least we had a bathroom INSIDE now.

Plenty of sewer outlets dump into major drinking sources.
To: Red Badger
85 gallons a day is a lot....almost double the real avg.
To: Red Badger
WE NEED MORE GOVERNMENT!

Most Philadephia Cheese Steak aficionado’s believe the Philly water is what makes the rolls taste the way they do.

Nearly every city more than 100 years old, was built with combination sewers.... IE the black and grey water, just went with storm water right into the local river or lake.
I find it a bit amusing they claim “cross connected” lines... when in fact, the most likely culprit is the home was always dumping its in the main sewer/runoff because that’s all there was when the house/building was built.
This is hardly a uniquely Philadelphia problem.
To: Red Badger
Liberal run cities.
The fun (and incompetence) never ends.
But there, women and minorities are never ever most affected.
