Texas beaches are full of poop

[citygator]

Several beaches along Texas' Gulf Coast have "potentially unsafe" water quality, with much of the contamination stemming from fecal matter and sewage system runoff, an environmental report released this week found.

Cole Park's beach in Corpus Christi and Sylvan Beach in La Porte were among some of the state's worst offenders where fecal matter contamination was deemed "unsafe" nearly 60 percent of the days they were tested in 2020.

Texas beaches as a whole were mostly worse than the national average, with 82 percent of the 220 beaches tested in the state being listed as "potentially unsafe" on at least one day last year, according to the Environment America report.

According to Texas public health officials, swimming in contaminated waters can cause serious illnesses, including gastrointestinal illness, respiratory disease, or ear and eye infections. Cole Park's beach tested positive for fecal contamination on 62 separate days in 2020, the highest of any location in Texas.

Yeah, they should pay attention to the excellent public health sanitation in San Francisco.

Heavy rain and flooding and shit happens. So what else is new? I wonder if liberal N.J. beaches are still contaminated by hospital waste dumped by liberal NY?

I suspect this is yet another manifestation of the national CSO problem.

Residential construction companies like to save money by routing storm sewers into a common sewer with SANITARY sewers (poop). When there is a heavy storm, the combined flow of sanitary and storm sewers is too much for the sewage treatment plant, and the excess (untreated sewage) is simply routed around and into the sewage plant outflow. This is a national problem. There is poop flowing into rivers, lakes, and the ocean every time there is a heavy storm.

The good news is that bacteria in the water will eventually neutralize the harmful stuff in the poop - people have been shitting into estuaries for thousands of years, eh? This is why the no-swimming warnings expire after a week or so.

Carry on.

Fecal Bacteria In California’s Waterways Increases With Homeless Crisis​

Fecal Bacteria In California’s Waterways Increases With Homeless Crisis - California Healthline

Some of California’s most prized rivers, bays, beaches and streams are contaminated with levels of fecal bacteria that exceed state limits, threatening human health. While aging sewage infrastructure is largely to blame, homeless encampments are also a probable source of contamination.

Just another reason for me to stay away from that state (not that I needed another reason)
