I know that St. Paul had interconnecitons between their run-off
systems and their sewer systems, such that when it rained a heckovalot,
raw sewage was ending up in the Mississippi. They've spent a heckovalot
to remove the interconnections. This sounds like it could be the same
deal. My decrepet archivist in the back of my brain is dredging up a
memory of someone saying that Minneapolis had the same problem, but it
wasn't nearly as bad.
