The EPA says it could save millions of dollars, but others fear the impact
on drinking water.
By February, the Environmental Protection Agency is expected to decide
whether to allow "sewage blending," a practice in which cities mix untreated
sewage with fully treated wastewater during storms.
Environmentalists are outraged at the EPA's sewage proposal, noting the
goal of the 1970 Clean Water Act was to eliminate the discharge of sewage into
waterways by 2010.
