5/19 Any other SF residents on the motd? My gf and I have both independently
pooing along the sewage around the city of late in random places.
I've heard the city has an antiquated sewage system in need of repair,
and I'm wondering if our poo smell has reached everyone. Anyone else
notice these smells? And yes, our poo is smellier than homeless
people. I know the smell of my own poo & Homeless (tm) quite well.
\_ You're smelling the decay of Western Society, is all.
\_ Yet one more reason why I don't live in the city.
\_ Yet one more useless response from the motd.
\_ Uh oh, Bitter Renting City Dweller strikes again!
\_ I haven't noticed anything, but I've been told that the Embarcadero
area south of market is built on top of huge holding ponds.
\_ The City is slowly tearing out all the old sewer pipes and
replacing them with new ones. They did my neighborhood last year.
I have noticed sewage smells near the North Point sewage plant
on the North Waterfront, near Fisherman's Wharf, but that has
been true for years. I don't think it is possible to make
a sewage plant that does not smell. If you happen to end
up by the big plant near India Basin, you will smell it too.
Sometimes it overflows into the streets of Hunter's Point on a
really rainy day, but I kind of doubt that you were hanging out in
the hood.

\_ Thanks for a thoughtful response. This has been mostly in and
around Duboce Triangle, the Mission District, and parts of
Downtown. All of those are low-lying areas, which may make
a big difference in this case. -op
\_ There is no reason that I know of that you might smell
sewage in those places. Are you sure you just aren't
smelling unwashed bodies? -ausman
\_ when IT emerges from the sewers and proceeds to eat half
the city you'll know why. |
