Florida sewage is a funny thing. On the one hand, they have been working hard to stop boats from dumping in the water and to get rid of home owners using septic tanks. Then on the other hand, the cities legally pump multiples more treated sewage into the ocean compared to any amount of untreated sewage that had ever made its way there.

The story being that "sterile" sewage is OK, but untreated sewage is not. The story, of course is a lie, as sterile or not the sewage adds the same amount of abnormal nutrients to the ocean ecosystem. And those nutrients cause all kinds of unnatural runaway growth in some organisms which in turns unbalances and destroys other organisms.

Yet, mention the problem in Florida and 99.99 percent of people will point a finger at to the one guy out of 10,000 still using a septic tank. <g>
