There definitely is sewage water going into the Lagoon. During the rainy
season the ground water seeps into the sewer pipe and creates so much flow
that they can't pump it all so they stop pumping (also it is very expensive
to run the pump all the time). There are not very many that are hooked up to
the sewer so its mostly rain water. The lagoon opens shortly after the season
starts and all of that goes into the ocean. The rainy season ends as does
the sewer overflow going into the lagoon. This year we had more rain, not enough
to really get the sewer going again but enough to get the Lagoon full again.
So this time when they opened the Lagoon there was very little to any sewer
water in it. The sewer situation is something which needs to be addressed, the
main reason I jumped into this thread was to clarify the difference in
the amount of sewer water in this Lagoon drain as opposed to one where the
Lagoon is opened for the first time of a rainy season.
