My comment was based on those statements that clearly indicate someone complained about the plant employees spilling wastewater and then failing to report it. Obviously, the results of the tests proved that the complaint was unfounded. So although it didn’t have the intended effect on the plant employees it was still an attempt to make them look bad. And perhaps before you insult another person’s reading ability, you should learn the difference between to and too. Just saying.

Clearly states that Century's discharge had nothing to do with the high levels. However it would be nice if the State had acted like they cared and looked into the matter a little more. Maybe some samples in Big Escambia Creek or upstream from the creek ? There are other sewer discharge points upstream. Assure someone they checked instead of just brushing it off as being due to high rainfall amounts. Although it may well have been. Perhaps Sparkles don’t read to well.

They like to make the Town of Century and it’s employees look like they are ineffective. Perhaps they are unhappy with their lives and take pleasure in causing grief for hard working folks who are trying to make Century a better place to live.

I've never seen the ground this saturated with water. Every septic tank in every yard will be supplying it's small share towards either escambia or perdido river.
