This spring we had gp heavy rains, flooded the town north of me.
On the news the wastewater dept was saying how the sewer water came up to the steps of the treatment plant, so they had to go into bypass mode.
No one ever explained what bypass mode was..... We do know, don't we?
In the 90s there was bad flooding, it washed out another neighboring towns wastewater pipe under a river. So for 3 months until the river went down, the sewer was simpler draining into the river. But it was not a problem at all, because the overflowing river could dilute it down just fine.
Most towns, as little as 2 inch rainfall will out their sewers into a bypass mode.
University of mN studied and found city folk apply over 2 times the fertilizers and herbicides per acre as farms do. Since farmers feed a crop, and city folk apply to make look pretty, so much of the city over application ends up flowing down sidewalks, streets, and channeled straight into the rivers by the storm drainage systems.
Then, marshes and wetlands are naturally high in nutrients, and in heavy rains they flush out also.
Now, farms have their issues too, but in the grand scheme of things......
Oh well, no one will ever hear that, is is all entirely farmers fault, we need to punish those people you know....

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
