Is that supposed to be a positive? Those local plants have capacity, and they are meant to serve the needs of the community who finances said plants through their taxes.

It's not ok to just dump billions of additional gallons (for no real benefit) into those existing systems.

They should be required to build and maintain their own treatment plants, at the very least.
