It's gonna end in the river because the '"Combined Sewer Outfall" system is designed that way, the treatment plant can only handle a fraction of rainfall. The only question is whether it takes a trip to your basement and streets first.

Too bad some of that stimulus money couldn't have been spent on sewer updates rather than streets upgrades to bring more cars downtown.

An interesting concern with the new pumping stations is that once they are operational, the EPA might shut them down because they would be pumping effluent into the Hudson River.

Hoboken is building pumping stations, but JC, as always, is status quo.

Has the City or the JMUA done anything to remedy the flooding downtown? I believe NYC is building massive holding tanks so that it can be certain to treat the water.
