I’d guess that any disobedience is pursued at one’s own risk since a backup would most immediately be observed in the “offender’s” own home. Without attempting to make light of the situation, I would say the whole thing stinks.
If it was in SF, residents would comply and just use the sidewalks instead.
That means they’re behind the curve in replacing old sanitary sewer mains. Replacing old infrastructure isn’t sexy for local government, but it *is* necessary.
If it’s yellow, let it mellow. If it’s brown, let it hang around.
the city said, “The sanitary sewer system is experiencing a surcharge condition due to rainwater entering the sewers, this impacts the ability of the system to process normal sewer flow. We are asking customers to limit toilet flushing and other activities that contribute to sewer flow for the next 24 hours.”
Only the govt could be so obtuse as to screw up a simple message like “Don’t flush or its floaters in the streets.”
Why is rainwater entering the sewer system? If should be watering the land and vegetation, providing a habitat for wildlife, as nature intended.
Do not flush, the Legislature is in season.
In South Louisiana we get summer thunderstorms that can dump 3 inches in an hour. We never need to ration toilet flushing. ??? Florida?
Dem governors orders now require flush-meters to be installed on all residential commodes.
Personally, I miss the good old days of straight piping directly into the creek.
