Way Too Many Sewage Overflows in the USA
- "An EPA report in 2001 found about 40,000 sewage overflows into waterways and 400,000 backups into basements. Each overflow is a violation of the Clean Water Act. EPA estimates it will take $139.4 billion to fix all the nation's leaky sewers." - excerpt from the article, AMERICANS ARE SWIMMING IN SEWAGE, by Paul D. Thacker, appearing in the publication, Environmental Science & Technology, Nov. 17, 2004.
