Hey Royce, Where do you get the idea no one can walk on top of those big septic tanks? In Birmingham they have three of them ...all in public parks. One is under a golf course, two others are under playscapes and picnic areas, another basin in Beverly Hills is part of a nature preserve.

You seem adamant in believing they are unfit for humans, I'm not following you here on this one; are you saying that DPW will screw this up so bad it is bound to fail?

To me the City has forever closed off the water from the people. To line Atwater with residential Highrises or strip mall retail would again close off the water; can't imagine that is a good thing.
