Current water rates for me 1.22 per 100 gallons, with a base 16.50 charge for service... average of 30 days per month ... My bill is generally in the 40-50 a month range, so yea 85 gallons a day is probably about right.
LOL!!.................
No wonder I can’t get that special ‘Philly’ taste when I make them myself!.................
Problem has probably existed for decades, and they are finally getting to figuring it all out. That is government work for you

What’s the big deal? San Francisco and Denver allow pooping in the streets, and that gets washed down the sewer drains. We don’t need no stinkin’ modern sanitation! Cholera City, here we come!
“Whats the difference? Many sewage plants dump into drinking water reservoirs.”
the difference is that this article is referring to household waste water dumping directly into streams and rivers WITHOUT TREATMENT by a wastewater treatment plant ...
How come their not using either dye detection or smoke detection? It’s more accurate than trying to smell where it’s coming from.
Washington State requires water system designs based 140 gallon/day/person.
“It ain’t much better after. They catch the turds, that’s about it.”
complete nonsense.
here’s a description of a typical municipal wastewater treatment process:

The water probably tastes better than that beer!....................
Never put your septic tank next to the well...................or vice versa..................
They probably do, but the nose is for ‘fine tuning’!.....................
Because thats exactly how serious they are about fixing it.
Worst sewer I ever came across was at potato processing plant. We were surveying their site and had to get sewer manhole invert elevations. The smell of waste fried potato oil made my instrument man puke his guts up when he pulled the lid and the smell rushed out.
Just working outside around the plant smelled like hashbrowns but the sewer was nasty...
As previoud public works director of a small city I would have thought that Philly would have some state of the art detection equipment.
I’ll never eat store bought hash-browns again!.................
This is Philly we’re talking about. Unions, corruption, Democrat stronghold forever....probably looted the equipment budget..................
Your probably right. City buys new equipment, staff “uses” for a year, puts it up for surplus sale, friendly contractors buy it on the cheap and kick back funds to the procurement manager.
or it was ‘lost’ in a terrible ‘accident’ underground..................
