The sewage spill took place at "8,1 Broad," but actually apparently came from a manhole in
Broad a'bit further north towards Foothill, in front of the Village senior complex. It flowed
down the street (southward) into several storm drain inlets to Old Garden Creek between
the point bf the leak and Broad/Murray. The creek at that point is inside our infamous
formerly -clogged culvert from 81 Broad to 108 Broad, just south of Murray, and the storm
inlets from the street go into the culvert.
1 suppose that means not only our yards but also many autos, bikes and pedestrians along
the street were thus slimed with excrement. I'm going to inquire whether the street was
closed during this mess. No signs to warn anybody of residue, for sure.
So, the excrement made its way down Old Garden, which runs between Broad and Chorro,
to Stenner -- yes, your creek -- which it joins behind the community garden at the
101 /North Broad intersection (the community garden is sandwiched between OGC and SC,
formerly the site of a nice bungalow which floated away in 1973), which then runs into San
Luis Creek at the end of Dana. A lot of town got crapped. But only Avila got noticed!
