More than 2 billion gallons of untreated sewage and storm water spilled out of urban sewers into local waterways after last Thursday's torrential rain storm, but even those overflows could not adequately relieve the sewers and prevent basement backups, the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District says in a report to state environmental officials.

"The relief points could not get excess rain and flood water out of overburdened sewers fast enough," the district says in a report released Tuesday to the state Department of Natural Resources. Three district rain gauges on Milwaukee's north side recorded total rainfall of more than 8 inches Thursday and Friday."

Notice no comment from Tom Barrett who is in charge of MMSD. Seems like the media has a democrat bias on the dump.

If a farmer spilled 1 gal of cow manure along the road they would be fined thousand of dollars. MMDD dumps 2 million and it's no big deal.
