There's (more) poo poo in the bayou!

Last week, KTRK-13 reported on another nasty mess in one of our bayous:

Volunteers made a gross discovery in Buffalo Bayou while trying to clean up a park.

They found sewage leaking into the bayou. According to those volunteers, the problem stems from a hole in a sewage pipe that runs underneath a bridge.

They say the dirty water discharges when excess pressure builds up in the pipe.

Crews say they've been complaining about the leak for five years, but no one has fixed it yet.

Hey, the matter of investing in infrastructure to prevent recurring problems of poo-poo in the bayou just can't compete with trinket governance!
