Sail445 you've been here far longer than I and I've no reason to not believe things that you saw in the 70s. In 40 years things are much different than what you describe. What happened even 5 years ago is pretty irrelevant. When you accept the current existing reality of the situation, you'll see there isn't a need to candy coat anything. I've been to every pump station and WWTP on all three islands, done inspections of the systems and written reports on existing conditions. The WMA is in the process of making improvements to many facilities in order to make them more reliable. Some improvements have been completed. As Nutmeg correctly and clearly stated, change is slow but it is happening.
