Comments on: Town Responds to ‘Red Tide Rising’ in Harbor https://capecharleswave.com/2013/08/town-responds-to-red-tide-rising-in-harbor/ Your Online Newspaper in Cape Charles, Virginia Fri, 07 Aug 2015 21:55:09 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=4.1 By: Scott Walker Jr https://capecharleswave.com/2013/08/town-responds-to-red-tide-rising-in-harbor/#comment-18188 Mon, 02 Sep 2013 12:40:46 +0000 http://capecharleswave.com/?p=8708#comment-18188 Your photo of the water sample is misleading and inflammatory. What’s in the bottle? You sit the item out there without first doing some lab work. You’re expecting clear water to come from the salty mix of the Bay? If it’s iron, what’s the big deal with back flushing? Rainwater runoff into the harbor is much more “polluted.” Get the fact before you act.

To be clear (pun intended), the water sample shown was taken from the harbor following a discharge from the pipe. We’ll leave the lab work to DEQ. –EDITOR

And, Oh Joy! Yet another tax involving that stinking (literally) sewer system that we didn’t need and nobody wanted. I can almost smell the fragrant breezes blowing through my neighborhood as the feces flow merrily along!
