Heavy rain causes raw sewage overflow in Gladstone
GLADSTONE, Ore. – Police are warning residents to avoid the Clackamas and Willamette rivers for the next two days after the city of Gladstone reported a raw sewage overflow.
It happened Monday near the confluence of the Clackamas and Willamette rivers, police said. The heavy rain overloaded an intersection point of the city’s wastewater and storm water systems.
The sewage poured into the rivers near the south end of Portland Avenue. It’s unclear how long the overflow lasted.
Police asked residents to avoid the rivers in that area for the next 48 hours due to the risk of bacteria exposure.
You know the east coast has got to be sending the middle finger to us for whining and complaining about our "massive storm system" that left "devestation" in its path. Ya not saying this didnt do damage, but compared to them, this was a laughable storm system. :)
how can this be, we are being billed for hundreds for storm water runoff.
Dont forget Milwaukie.
