During the Lower Raritan Watershed Partnership's 9.9.2022 boat tour on the Raritan River, with a navigational assist from Raritan Riverkeeper Bill Schultz, our group bore witness to the effluent discharge of "cleaned" sanitary sewage (read: toilet flushings) of more than a million people in Central New Jersey. After processing by Middlesex County Utilities Authority (MCUA) at a treatment plant in Sayreville, the stuff bubbles up out of five (5) discharge pipes in Raritan Bay. It is surreal. And yes, it stinks.

And im pretty sure thats not far from where they are building the new housing / shopping complex on the river front. Im sure those over priced brownstones will be enjoying that nice smell on a warm summer night mixed in with edgeboro dump...
