Sewer Dept Steps In It, Twice as Deep.

The Milford Sewer gang and accomplices are again telling their favorite fantasy. I have some ideas as to why this institution, which can be characterized as an enterprise with a word that starts with a "c" and ends with an "l".

For over three years I have written many letters, made phone calls, took pictures and sent them to every conceivable principle so far involved. In return, my careful mathematical and scientific refutations of the their claims has had zero response and that includes the Selectmen and Town Counsel.

Three years ago, the Sewer gang, through one Mainini made the outright false and vicious claim that 33 homes on Bowdoin Drive were causing an increase of almost 1 million gallons, per day, into the waste water system. This is incredibly stupid. That alone, not  considering other naturally occuring factors, means each of those 33 were pumping 6400 gallons several times everyday! Just do the math! That is enough water to fill a basement of a 20x40 foot foundation to the very rafters! I will not reveal other facts about that contention as I have done so elsewhere. Suffice here to reference my title. In the Town Crier, where the Sewer Dept gets a load of approbation, the fairy tale was told again. Now, however, the Sewer gang is doubling down  the lie by claiming sump pumps are contributing 2 millions of gallons per day!! We are in a drought. Where did the 33 supposedly causing this get an extra 1 million gallons? The average sump pump cannot pump 6400 galons several times per day, let alone 13,000! Do they think we are stupid? Yes, they do and given the public's interest, they may be correct.

I am attaching pictures of the Bowdoin Drive area. My contention is that 50 years ago someone of the Sewer gang made either an incorrect calculation for the storm drainage system. Or did they do something like what was done at MHS at the same time, or what was done at the intersections of Fortune Blvd and Route 85? I won't mention, unless they want to sue me, an article in the same place a month ago on the same subject quoting a local developer who wants to build on swamp land. This may be a way to get the tax payer to foot the cost of fixing a egregious storm drain on Bowdoin Dr.
