My god, you still allow CSOs? Those were the single worst contributor to
severe pollution episodes in Boston Harbor before the massive re-engineering
and clean-up of the '90s. A normal rain event would basically flush all of
the toilets in metro Boston into the Harbor. You had to see it to believe it
(unfortunately, I did. . .).
