Wildwood residents may have noticed a wastewater spill over the weekend near the end of Flaming Star Avenue, with the flow going down the canyon and into the creek. Public Works staff determined the cause was a blockage, not a pipe break, but unfortunately were not immediately able to clear the blockage. Instead crews quickly established a bypass line, effectively stopping the spill. (1/2)
It's Sunday, a great day for National to announce another power grab. They intend to "speed up" land acquisition for public works (roads) & completely bypass the Environment Court in the process.
Any objections will have to go directly to Chris Penk who will reject them. I'm speculating on the last point, but that seems to be the theme.
Forget democracy. The Nats are determined to prevent the public from having input into legislation.
#Landfills are expensive to operate, leak methane (a contributor to climate change) and generally make life near them dreadful. Is there anything we could do something that would help with these problems? Say hello to “renewable” natural gas production that turns methane into something productive AND reduces emissions. Now, let’s invest some of the proceeds into making nearby neighborhoods better. https://whyy.org/articles/chester-county-landfill-renewable-natural-gas/ #publicworks
@ZhiZhu @josephcox But just think of the absolute gold rush when it blows up.
To fix that mess will be the largest #publicworks project since Hoover Dam. It'll also probably set #ai trust back 30 years. We're talking Hal level of trust. #SorryDave
Here’s a full list of everything Trump is cutting in social spending. There's multiple screens, keep clicking to the right.
Everything that helps the poor is being stripped away. This should be mandatory publication on the front page of every American news source. It is not.

And I'm including a screen cap of everything they're cutting from #HHS because this is so outrageous, so ethically and morally abhorrent, it must be exposed to sunlight.
“In just eight years after fluoridation ended in 2011, the need for intravenous antibiotic therapy by children to avoid death by infection rose 700 per cent at the Alberta Children’s Hospital.”

When meeting monthly, those committees also help report things that #PublicWorks departments are somehow in the dark about, like their crosswalk lights are burnt out, or the buttons won't work, like the crosswalk button that was broken right at Lincoln City's City Hall & Public Works Department building for weeks earlier this year. It is now fixed, but that is a crucial bit of transportation infrastructure to leave broken for so long.
The City Council meets tomorrow, Sept. 24, at 6 pm. There are two department reports on the agenda:
- an update on the citywide street #paving overlay and curb ramp program
- an update on construction of the Navigation Center (temporary #homeless housing) in an industrial area of Newbury Park, slated to open early next year
