Think last summer was a wakeup call to how bad our sewer system in Sioux Falls is? Think again. Last night I met with a city official, and it wasn’t even a topic that I wanted to ask them about, but they brought it up; our sewer system in some areas in town is in dire straits and something must be done, ASAP. They told me they are pushing hard to get repairs done (which are mostly just upgrading the system). As I told them, these things are not always glamorous, but needed.
In a time when we are talking about spending millions on planning an events center that hasn’t even been approved by voters yet, one wonders why we would ignore sewage infrastructure?
