What do you people pay a month for sewers up there.

Jeff Co is about 70/month for water and Sewer, but I'm up stream in Eureka.

I read that there's supposed to be some type of meeting in Arnold or something, with MSD and some local council people or something regarding the sewage effluent. Apparently since a lot of the municipalities downstream of Fenton are in Jefferson county, they want MSD to fix it sooner, and think (rightly or wrongly) that they're dragging their feet on it.

Meeting was on Friday.  I was unable to attend due to work.  Anybody have any info on what MSD had to say?

I pay $60 a month just for sewers on LOZ.  That is something for you all to take into consideration when lookiing for  something on a  lake somewhere. You buy something out here where they are aggresively trying to get sewers  installed you might be in for a surprise. Sewer installation is mandantory and so are the monthly payments no matter if you live here full time or not.

People neglect to mention that the citizens served by the MSD Fenton plant have had no interruption in their ability to have and use clean drinking water. Your quality of life has not suffered, and your weeping for an environmental destruction that, really, has not occurred, is obviously, premature. 

Fish love poop. And eggs. And semen. It is well documented. Add corn, and it may as well be an excremental carnival for enterprising and forward thinking fish. Who will grow and thrive and eagerly await our baited hooks and nets and arrows and multi pronged plastic imitations.

A week or so outdated it seems but I ran across this information just a few minutes ago. Looks like the worst parts of the sewage effluent have been fixed since mid February now. I didn't know that. Still hope they finish the rest of the fixes up soon though so we can finally hit that section of the river again.

Well good!

Sorry about that, New Orleans.

Looks like Fenton sewage treatment plant is back to being fully operational from what I heard on the news. Woohoo! Now just to give it a few more days to clean itself a bit more and I'm going to be back on it.
