Sarasota Livin'

The sewage pump station on Pomelo Ave "died" last week.... Just today a press release from the county gave the all clear -there was never an official "warning" about using the city water of sewer in the area - just don't swim in the Bayou

... seems we were lucky with the weather this time.

But 570,000 is a lot of crap to dump in that area. I would bet the owners of the 3 lots that have homes being built on them that are surrounding the pump station are not very happy .... I bet the cheapest lot was sold for about a dollar a gallon.

The locals - Susan Chapman (board member of CCNA) had her picture in the paper as president of the Hudson Bayou Neighborhood Association are very angry and it didn't start last week. There have been routine complaints about the lack of maintenance at the pump station.

Lets hope this wakes up our local officials to the importance of our infrastructure issues.
