Richmond takes steps to limit sewage flowing into the James

March 15, 2020 by Wayne Creed 1 Comment

(RICHMOND, VA)—Richmond will take aggressive steps to address sewage overflows into the James River under legislation just passed by the Virginia Senate and House of Delegates.

After heavy rainfalls, the city’s combined sewage system currently discharges untreated sewage into the James River. The legislation, introduced by Sen. Richard Stuart (SB1064), sets a timeline for Richmond to complete upgrades to the system to eliminate these discharges by 2035.

The General Assembly and the Governor would annually consider the cost and progress of this work in reports provided by the City of Richmond. This work will aid lawmakers in ensuring that the city has the additional funding needed to undertake the work.

    Disgusting that this has been going on for years. Talk about a total failure of the gov. for meeting our most basic of needs. They have never bothered to address this issue of keeping Virginians healthy and safe ? Then our leaders wonder why we don’t believe in them, or any stated concern for us. I’d pay good money to watch our leaders drink the effluent overflowing into that river. They deserve the same treatment they provide for we the people, and our oysters.
