All I can say is to echo the subject line of this email: Oh my God! Are you kidding? Will you feel better to know that what you see on the curve of Edgewater Drive right now IS the monster station that has prevailed for seven years? The "success" is getting the attention of the right departments and personnel by going to town meeting for help. Last fall, town meeting voted the money needed to replace the station. The plans go out for bids this month. There should be a new, below-ground, non-smelly, non-noisy, submersible pump station on that site by fall.
