People create sewage, lots of it, what do you do with it? Not sure where some fast food franchises are getting their raw material supply but I doubt we can unload it there. So, get rid of the people or ? to better manage the waste. Not sure if deep well injection is an option up that way or not. Not too far away I know the water comes from a couple of thousand feet deep making deep well disposal less feasible. Of course they could go to tertiary treatment, you can drink that effluent. Maybe that is the solution. It costs and there are still waste products. My point is that it may not be enough to say stop, you might need to lobby for a new feasible direction at the same time.

rick yea your right but it cant hurt if people sighned it either
milwaukee dumps alot alot alot more then any other town on the lake you guys beaches get closed cause of sharks and ripcurrents, our beaches get closed because of bacteria levels are too high from milwaukee dumping. they litteraly put up a sighn infront of the beach and sometimes close the parking lot saying its not safe. we all rode one day when it was closed since it was realy good and 2 of my freands got sick and i just didnt swallow any water that day lol lake michigans alot differant then the ocean since its way smaller and there isnt a constant current like the gulf that moves the sewage away from shore so it just kinda sits there and drifts along the shorelines gathering up along the beaches. its kinda like if you put a drop of food coloring(sewage) in a cup (lake) it makes the water change color if you put a drop of food coloring in a bucket(ocean) it will make little differance. you can smell it when youre in the water. a lake michigan "sewage" wave at zion (south of milwaukee) isnt that a lovely shade of green. lol Last edited by snowball; 04-18-2007 at 10:22 PM.

Another approach would be to do some testing on your own and compare the results to State and Federal guidelines or standards. Coliform testing is fairly inexpensive at about $20. a pop. You could publicize your results and organize a call in/email campaign to as many related agencies that come to mind from the City to the Feds. In Florida, there is regular monitoring of surface water for Total Coliform. As a result of this, there are periodic beach closings to bathers.
Cases in point, last weekend in Key West, a little island way out in the middle of nowhere. And, Ft. Lauderdale at the start of the Race to the Bahamas. We were risking more than big seas and sharks, the beach was closed due to excessive enteric bacteria! On the whole, we should manage this stuff better, everywhere. As bad as it is for the odd kiter, you should see the damage to the life that has to live there full time.
