The effect is a violation of the Sixth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.

Excess storm water leads sewers to overflow into local waterways, which the city’s Department of Environmental Protection is battling with a 20-year, $2.4 billion plan.It is good work.
These are small patches on big problems.
The storm water should go to wet lands.
The city has converted its fresh water wetlands into developed real estate.
Combined sewers are an error in need of correction.
Storm sewers would be better though not good.
They will move the dirt in the streets to the waters.
They will relieve the sewage treatment plants of the pulse loading from the weather.
Urban ground water only means wet basements.
