The need for the shelter became apparent at 12:00pm today when Central Hudson could not guarantee the city’s power would be 100% restored…

To all - more storm related clean water issues. The following is a press release just published regarding infiltration to a sewer line going to the treatment plant. It is different from the Riverkeeper’s alert last week of sewage possibly emanating from the storm water line near the Riverfront Park.

This is a follow up to the Riverkeeper finding that the city may be discharging sewage, or recently discharged, into the river from a storm water outlet. We are still working on tracking down the potential cause and I will report back in a few days with more information and with the findings of the water tests. It is possible that the extremely heavy rains from the last two major storms may have caused damage to the lines going throughout the city.
In general, the more long…

Venessa Miemis mentioned that there is a substantial percentage of Spanish speakers in the city and that it might be a good idea to have a Spanish version of the web site. I'd be happy to do it, if you didn't mind my taking quite a while to do it - between work, the house, and an almost-three-year-old there isn't much time left.

I'm a native Spanish speaker and a professional translator (into and from Spanish).
