Fix old sewage pipes before building plant

This just goes on and on and on, doesn’t it? It goes to show where the priorities should have been placed many years ago — not a billion-dollar non-existent sewage treatment plant but a much needed billion-dollar upgrade of the old pipes that started this whole mess, that of spillover during high rain and high tides during winter.

First things first. Fix the old pipes in the ground before even thinking that sewage treatment will fix our woes. At least we know that our sewage is not stinking up the place out at sea, all the while waiting for the Best Plan.
