17 million gallons of sewage spills into ocean; beaches between El Segundo, Dockweiler closed

LOS ANGELES - Approximately 17 million gallons of untreated sewage discharged into the ocean on Sunday night, prompting the closure of beaches between El Segundo and the Dockweiler RV Park, Los Angeles County Supervisor Janice Hahn said Monday.

How did this happen? The sewage discharge was a result of excessive debris which caused a backup Sunday night at the Hyperion Treatment Plant.

According to a statement from Timeyin Dafeta, Hyperion Executive Plant Manager, the plant became inundated with overwhelming quantities of debris, causing backup of the headworks facilities. This caused the plant's relief system to be triggered and "sewage flows were controlled through the plant's one-mile outfall and discharge of untreated sewage into Santa Monica Bay".

The plant manager says during eight hours of discharge, approximately 17 million gallons of sewage was discharged. Dafeta says this was done in order to prevent the plant from going completely offline and discharging more raw sewage.

So excessive shxt, from a shxt hole place caused shxt to overflow into the ocean.

Why am I not surprised.

I just fought a municipality for 2 years over use of a large water line and finally prevailed. I’ve been developing for over 40 years but I have never seen so many incompetent people
in government. It’s clearly “affirmative action” at work as these people often cannot even write a letter and I’m not speaking of just “black affirmative action”, I’m speaking of gender bias, gay bias, anti white male bias and so on. City government’s are just broken. They cannot function due to hiring people on various bias’s instead of qualifications.

17 million gallons of sewage spills into ocean sounds like the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District, which combined raw sewage, grey water and rain water into one system.

When it rains hard, they routinely dump millions of gallons of raw sewage into Lake Michigan as they are terrified of actually filling the huge holding tank - every year and sometimes twice a year.

I used to sail a buddies catamaran thru the fecal chloroform floating in the raritan bay. Hose yourself down then hose down the boat.

This is all President Trump's fault. He called other Countries $hitholes so the liberals had no choice but to turn America into one to demonstrate we're no better than them.
