Sewage problem... Found this on usenet: This is based on the Westchester Edition of the New York Times for Sunday May 31, 1998, page 8. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------- There was a power failure on May 11 at a Con Ed substation.. The standby generator failed to work at the Mamaroneck sewer treatment plant. 250,000 gallons of untreated by diluted sewage spilled into the Mamaroneck Harbor and 6 million gallons of partially treated sewage into Long Island Sound. During the power failure, sewage was flowing at the rate of 50 million gallons/day and water was rushing through the basement of the treatment plant with such force that a steel door was ripped off its hinges. It took four days to repair the problem [which I am glad I did not have to do] and provide full sewage treatment.
