What I don't understand is why is there even a route for sewer to get into the River untreated? The only pipe that should enter the river is one that is on the other end of a treatment facility. I hope I wording this right, but it seems there is a pipe that has access to untreated waste water and leads to the river...how can this be? I read it was some sort of gate for intake or something along those lines...how can intake be in anyway linked to discharge..surely they don't use the same lines...? I dunno?
