I’m pretty busy this week so I have to modify the blog posts this week. What you will see is links to five or six stories each day. Feel free to chime in with comments.

Heavy rains last week caused roughly 180,000 gallons of untreated sewage water to leak into the Monocacy River in Buckeystown, Maryland.

An obscure federal agency has announced that it will upgrade its troubled wastewater treatment plant in San Ysidro, near the California-Mexico border.

The California Regional Water Quality Control Board has issued a Notice of Violation to the City of Oakdale for failing to report incidents where untreated sewage water was discharged into the Stanislaus River from a malfunctioning lift station.

In Chicago, a large sinkhole developed after a 24-inch main broke late Friday afternoon.

In Winston-Salem, North Carolina, the new city budget calls for water and sewer rates will increase 7 and 9 percent respectively.
