Again, government has screwed up the works. Along with the eco-fascists in and outside of our government, the Bay area is stuck with a stink that has doubled the costs, or more, against the savings the insane leftists said would occur by using the 'eco-friendly toilets'.
Why does anyone ever listen to these brain dead progressive socialist monsters!
Eco-Friendly Toilets Cause a Stink
Source: "Whiff of a Green Scandal: San Francisco Pours $14m of Bleach into Sea -- After Eco-Friendly Toilets Cause a Stink," Daily Mail (U.K.), March 1, 2011.
San Francisco is paying a high price for promoting eco-friendly low-flow toilets, says the Daily Mail (U.K.).
Twenty million gallons of water a year are being saved, but because the small amount of water is not pushing the waste away fast enough there is a stinky whiff in parts of the city. Now authorities are set to undermine the toilets' green credentials by flushing $14 million worth of bleach to solve the problem.
Public Utilities Commission spokesman Tyrone Jue admitted that skimping on toilet water had caused more sludge to back up inside the sewer pipes. It has created a rotten-egg stench near AT&T Park -- home to the San Francisco Giants -- and other parts of the Bay Area, especially during the summer months.
The city has agreed a three-year deal for concentrated bleach to disinfect treated water before it is pumped into San Francisco Bay and to sanitize tap water.
The city has already spent $100 million over the past five years to upgrade its sewer system and sewage plants, in part to overcome the odor problem.
