Stop dumping sewage into Tampa Bay


Stop dumping sewage into Tampa Bay
The Issue
We are asking that the city of St Pete take action and stop dumping sewage into the Bay, Clam Bayou or any other estuary other than is own processing plants.
The result of city's dumping has caused the following; smelly sewage water along downtown, a mass die off of skimmer birds, significant issues with closed waterways and beaches due to high bacteria and sewage ecoli counts. These are all clearly a result of from the city of St Pete opening its sewage and dumping millions of tons of sewage into the bay.
We ask that you stop dumping sewage before our tourism, fishing and other wildlife issues are even more affected. We ask that you do the right thing Mr. Mayor and fix the city's plumbing infrastructure so that dumping of sewage into the bay is never a required response.
