"The smell, the toxicity of the fumes that were coming out from this building,” said Cumming, "It stopped my agents in their tracks. It’s important the public understands how concerning this is to us.”
The employee echoed those concerns, describing crumbling floors and ceilings. They also note filthy locker rooms with broken showers and toilets.
“The toilets don't even flush. Half of them don't flush. I mean, I wouldn't even change my shirt in the locker room, let alone my whole uniform," they said, "I've seen facilities in the city jail that were better than that place."

ANNE ARUNDEL COUNTY, Md. (7News) — A force main break in Severna Park, Maryland, resulted in a 16,200-gallon sewer spill, the Anne Arundel County Department of Public Works said... The cause of the break has not been determined.
Allow me to give the government workers and the anti-boating leftists a clue on who caused it:
IT WASN'T A BOATER!
Thank God the environmental wackos have made all the waters around Anne Arundel County No Discharge Zones. You all need your heads examined. You waste your time and money going after recreational boaters when it is state and local governments that do most of the polluting.
Prove me wrong. I dare you.
From The New York Post:
Nearly 30,000 gallons of sewage water that had not been disinfected was dumped into Reynold’s Channel in Long Beach — forming a nasty-looking, dark-colored sludge — after a plant operator failed to close a valve, according to Long Beach officials.
BRECKENRIDGE, Texas (KTAB/KRBC) – A clog at a Breckenridge wastewater treatment plant led to a release of partially treated sewage into Gunsolus Creek, according to city officials, who say the incident was caused by an unusual buildup of debris in the system.
From WTOP:
"At least 18.7 million people are served by one of roughly 1,000 utilities that are in serious violation of pollution limits. At least 2.7 million live with a system that violated federal clean water rules continually over the last three years, according to an Associated Press analysis of federal data."
From WFLA
SARASOTA, Fla. (WFLA) — 14,000 gallons of raw wastewater spilled into Sarasota Bay on Sunday at West John Ringling Causeway Park.
A pollution notice posted by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection said city staff were alerted to water coming up out of the ground at around 11:21 a.m.
“Staff investigated and found that the concrete vault over the 2-inch air release valve had shifted due to soil erosion, likely from the 2024 Hurricane season, and broke the 14-inch x 2-inch saddle off the 14-inch force main,” the notice said.
If only the libtards/riverwatchers/leftists would be successful in removing all boats from the water (except theirs, of course), the world would be a perfect poop-free place. Except, of course, for that septic tank called Washington, DC (and every other major city in the world). Get a clue water Nazis! More "No Discharge Zones" aren't the answer. Fix your left-tard cities and then preach to the rest of us.

A massive pipe that moves millions of gallons of sewage has ruptured and sent wastewater flowing into the Potomac River northwest of Washington D.C., polluting it ahead of a major winter storm that has repair crews scrambling.
