Sewage Spill in Rio Vista

Post by Yoda » Sat Mar 24, 2007 10:19 pm

Can't find any details online yet, but I saw the report on channel 40 news. Over 200 gallons of raw sewage is reported to have made its way into the Sacramento river... upstream from Sherman I believe considering the video footage. :(

The real question is: How many gallons of raw sewage are emitted into the Sac River AT Sherman Island on a busy kiting/windsurfing weekend via wetsuits.

Let's see. 50 kiters and 50 windsurfers (conservative estimate) times (how much pee does the average person generate in three hours) = _____???? :mrgreen:


200 gallons of sewage diluted in the several million gallons of water between Rio Vista and Sherman doesn't seem like that a big deal to me.

It says 10M, but it's really a 9.
