I bet that some of that discharge also gets into Harbor Point since it is right next door. Would you recreate in that Harbor Point body of water.

Apparently, the millions of $$$$ that they sunk ino the treatment plant in N.Utica wasen't enough to keep up with all the rain we had the other day, resulting in the discharge into the Mohawk.

Soooo, why not?

I always get a kick out these alerts that I get. Everyone should sign up/ Millions of gallons of untreated crap and pee and vomit are dumped into the Mohawk River and how much ends up in Harbor Point soon to become a recreational and eatery extraordinary in Utica........I wouldn't touch that water.
