[Winona Online Democracy] Tom...I really thought this was a way for both the city and property owners to win. The city will shortly be forced to begin testing storm water runoff...and may be required to treat it before it is dumped in the lake and the river.
Can you imagine the cost of diverting ALL storm sewers in Winona, connecting them to a central treatment plant...taking sediments out...perhaps removing volatile organic compounds or other such nasties...wow Well, imagine we do such a good job of preventing non-point pollution in the storm water that we never have to build such a system...that sounds like an elegant solution to me, and certainly should be encouraged Bob Sebo Winona ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tom Severson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "online democracy" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "Vicki Englich" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "Bob Sebo" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, June 26, 2003 5:06 PM Subject: RE: [Winona] Gardens as rain runoff filters > I think we are already rewarded by the beauty of this wonderful > area, why should the city forgo their hard earned revenue?
