21:28 PST Sausalito -- A southern Marin County sanitation district under federal orders to replace aging infrastructure will have spilled 300,000 gallons of bacteria-laden sewage into San Francisco Bay by noon today after a rupture in a sewage treatment plant pipeline.

I always knew the Bay Area was full of $h!t.
Just being sewage is gross enough. Now consider it’s San Francisco’s sewage and the gross factor goes up a couple orders of magnitude.
Does this mean Pelosi is washed out to sea?
People from Marin actually have poop holes?
I think we always KNEW they had poop holes. I think the real shock here is that they actually use them the way God intended sometimes.
A little karma for the moonbats who wanted to name that sewage treatment plant after W.
Forgigive my crass attempt at humor, but does the back story include gay envirowhackos plugging the legal system to halt renovation of the sewage system, resulting in this indiscriminate discharge of contaminated waste?
Geez, and they’re worried about oil wells?
Septic tanks are not the problem here.
This is nothing, Milwaukee’s sewage district, MMSD, releases much more than this into lake Michigan every time it rains here. They call the crud released a “blend” as it’s raw sewage mixed with storm water. The downtown sewage lines are interconnected with the storm drains as it is an old system and the sewage plant has to dump into the lake when the flowage overwhelms it.
We spent 2+ billion drilling big underground tunnels to park the flow some years back but that turned out not to work. The tunnels were part of a court order and it turns out judges make poor sanitation engineers.
but but but marin county if the model of eco friendly environments we should all look up to.
we should all look up to
...you still can; just hold your nose...
Yeah. I bet they wish they had the George W. Bush Sewage Treatment Plant in Marin right about now...
Of course, if you get them drunk, they’ll admit they wish they had George W. Bush back in the White House right about now...
OK. They gotta be reeeeeaaaaaaalllllly drunk!
Septic tanks are not the problem here.
Agreed; the point is double standards. It’s not like the EPA is going to declare it a superfund site or jail someone in Marin. This isn’t the first spill. However, here’s a quote from a state waterboard spokesman (Dave Clegern,Santa Cruz Sentinel, 2/4/09) “We don’t to drive people off their homes and off their property”...but they will feel bad if they have to, very bad.
forgot about that. Good one!
Wonder if any of the residents got flushed too?
spilled 300,000 gallons of bacteria-laden sewage,Malibu dumps more than that every month.
Maybe it’ll kill off those marsh mice and save $30M
