Oh,another sewage spill? Who was responsible for this one? You did not say. The County needs to take over this sewer problem, look out Gulf Shores you might end up like Lillian. You will not be able to put your big toe in the water. Wake up people, don’t think this is a isolated incident, everytime it rains you should see the crews out trying to plug there holes,there is a problem and it’s getting worse. Straight injections into the ground for sewage is not going to work either. Look at China they have earth quakes. They have been injecting for many years. Those gases will build.We are destroying the beauty of Baldwin County.
