A constant flow of raw sewage is causing quite the stink in the
McConnell area just outside of Logan
The stagnant pool of human waste spans
dozens of feet between the road and the railroad tracks.
Sewage from dozens of homes in the
neighborhood all flow into the ditch.
The long-term solution would be to
connect it to the city's sewage plant, but they say that would cost millions in
upgrades. Commissioners say that's just not a priority right now.
The short-term solution is to reroute
that sewage so that it goes into the river. That would just mask the problem
though, not fix it.
Commissioners say they have been in
contact with CSX -- asking for permission to do that.
Commissioners also say that this
problem is not unique to this area. They say it's something that's an issue
statewide.
