sanitation is the measure of civilization

Sanchez grocery/carniceria opposite Yolanda's restaurant sprays their black water on the street with a swimming pool pump and a hose every afternoon. The house behind Mundo's carniceria, opposite the municipio building also sprays the street every afternoon. Roberto Verde's black water pools in a hole in the street in the 70's block of Boca del Rio, and his wife diligently scatters it by hand with a yogurt container onto the street every morning. And, as Jean pointed out, the sewer itself periodically flows out of the manholes onto the street. I'm sure I can point out many more, but why bother? Even one is intolerable. Maybe some people don't actually recognize black water, that is, shit water. Maybe being a plumber has given me some special sense...Thank you Jean for starting this thread. It's time this issue is addressed. And if one walks through town, rather than drive, one will tend to notice more immediately the quality of the ground before them.
