And idiots have been known to pour waste motor oil and other pollutants down storm drains, too. Despite what Jack and Birdman suggest, most storm drain systems flow into waterways. The cost of rerouting them through treatment plants is way beyond what most citizens are willing to spend. (Speaking of which, our northern neighbor, Victoria, B.C., is still daily pouring all of its untreated sewage (millions of gallons) directly into the Strait of Juan de Fuca. We're not as far along and enlightened as we'd like to think.)...and now I'll get off my soap box.

Now our apartment house' basement is full with water in the rain. No, they do not care about the river, steal more money and fast is the only concern. And we are OK, everybody does not care about anything at all.
