Have Sludge, Will Travel!

I reported this past October on the sorry and costly state of Bayridge septic tank's dead sludge. Ten tanks need to have their expired (read: dead, dead, dead) sludge sucked up and carted off. For those inclined to read about that, follow the link below. The County has not come after the LOCSD waiving legal papers for non-compliance on emptying those tanks yet, but who like waiting around for that (————) to drop? They are not going to let those poop piles fall between the cracks.

Thanks to the persistence of the LOCSD's Utilities Manager Jose Acosta and General Manager Renee Osborne, an excellent and wayyyyy cheaper solution has been found! Rather than the $110,000 mentioned at the last episode, a company called appropriately, East Bay MUD has come to the rescue. Bayridge is now looking at around $20,000, give or take, and they already have $50,000 in their reserves!

There is a bit of Wiki-info on EBMUD, aside from the link above—they look like a pretty large operation; this Bayridge stuff will be but a tiny drop in the night soil bucket for them.
