This is a known issue and they should be fined horribly. They should also be forced to fix the issue. More rules to thee, but not me.

They might need another pump. It is a long way to the food court in the new stadium.

Maybe if they rename the Ukrainian river it might get the needed attention

Maybe we should spend a billion dollars building a cover over the Niagara River so this can't happen again?

The salmon will get fed well.

Oswego, syracuse, gets drinking water from lake Ontario.

Perhaps perhaps build a pipeline from that wastewater treatment all the way to the Capitol Building in Albany after all those Bottom Feeders need something to eat too

Don’t worry the same people that can’t installmoumps or manage money are responsible for treating it so you don’t get anything, but sterilized shit in your glass at home.

Actually they wanted to truck NYC sewage here and dump it on fields east of Rochester. The outrage stopped it.

So they have 2 pumps, and if one fails you get this type of runoff? It soinds like they need a better redundancy plan.

So did the power outage cause the pump to fail ?
Folks how do we think a grid down situation would look like..... Sewage flows into the lake... People swarming to the lake to get drinking water.

I think all or most of the city of Syracuse gets its water from Skaneatles Lake. Top notch water. OCWA gets its water from Ontario. Just sayin.

Only the west side of Syracuse gets the good water, OCWA sends out a map every now and then.
I looked Otisco lake or a mix too, but most get Ontario out side of the city. OCWA service map pdf.

Ahh when they finish with build back better the windmills and solar power will take care of all those power outages

Why weren’t they using solar and wind powered pumps? This wouldn’t have happened if they used green energy. Damn iceberg killing climate change deniers….
