San Fran's Signs Seek Sewer Love!

Seriously! Read about this crazy ad campaign off this link:

http://capoliticalnews.com/2013/12/23/san-francisco-wants-you-to-fall-in-love-with-its-sewer-system-with-dirty-ads-on-busses/

The aim is to generate a sewer buzz to get a more democratic input into its sewer retrofit planning process.

Beware, San Francisco, be very aware. Study Los Osos' sewer process from 1998 to the present. Maybe a public works project should stay a public works project.........? Nobody in SF is talking much about the billion dollar price tag.....yet.

In any case, San Francisco has a very cool sewer website!

There was a rather clever idea in the article:
...since the ads went up, 800 people have booked tours at a municipal wastewater-handling facility, filling the visiting schedule for several months out.
Maybe we could advertise our new plant in 2016 as a sewer destination? Charge a nominal entry fee? I do (do!)* hope that we get to tour our plant when it is done!

Sorry. Couldn't help myself.
