The City is committing environmental vandalism. Injecting sewer water into the ground is wrong. For an overview of this subject, see http://www.propublica.org/series/injection-wells
What is going to be done to test the water quality? Before it is injected? I as a citizen don’t want the fox checking the quality of the hen’s eggs and having it done by an independent research facility far from the city can be the answer to everyones concerns. It costs less than a $100 to have a water test done via mail to reputable companies. Let’s get this done.
@Bill — Treated sewer water can be tested and rated “A+” and therefore “suitable” for injection but still contain plenty of estrogen mimickers, pharmaceuticals, radioactive drug waste, and etc.
I spoke to City engineer Mosley about this a few years ago. His response was that he knew about that stuff but “it only affected the lower life forms like amphibians”. Really.
I presented reams of evidence to the Moronic Convergence (AKA Council) as to why this was a very bad idea but they voted for it anyway, even the Sierra Clod Rayner.
I think people who want this and voted for it should have to drink it.
