HULL — Flooding at the wastewater treatment plant here forced officials to close local schools on Thursday, bring in emergency pumps, and send raw sewage into the Atlantic Ocean, state and town officials said.
Town Manager Philip E. Lemnios said operators reported at about 1 a.m. that an abnormally high volume of sewage water was coming into the basement, which has a 20-foot well to handle flooding.

So raw sewerage is going into the ocean, but everything is under control and the management comany is great? Why is rain water getting into the treatment facility at all? It should be separate.
Another insult to the waters of Boston harbor. Last year it was a pipe break in Weymouth that released hundreds of thousands of gallons of raw sewage, the year berfore that was a failure of the Nut Island plant in Quincy with the same results.
