yeah, I talked to a guy from the Town-he said plant was functioning but there was more flow coming in than what plant had been designed for.....untreated sewerage was literally overflowing the tanks and running down the street into the cove...there really isn't anything that can be done at this point with the 3 plants on the Pawtuxet. All in all, my understanding is that 8 plants in the state were bypassing.... I'm hoping that all will be well by the time fish start comin in.
But then mike, U remember the 70's ....didn't know what kind of fish U had till U gaffed it...water was that bad back then. And all the pogies and bass U could ever wish for....and THAT water was REAL DIRTY up river....

So maybe all the nutrients that will be borne by this dilemma will sustain the food chain in ways that defy imagination...or i'm just "waxing poetic"......
