Ugly Big Creek Lake

Big Creek Lake is where Mobile and other communities get their drinking water. For years I have been complaining to MAWSS about the trash in the lake and on the shoreline. So far the assholes running MAWSS have ignored the complaints and have done absolutely nothing to remove the trash, some of which is hazardous to public health. Went kayaking yesterday to see MAWSS picked up any of the trash last year. Nope.

What is in Mobile's drinking water lake? No one cares what is floating in the lake as long as the few chemicals they test for are within allowable tolerance.

Big new trash floating in Big Creek Lake compliments of Mobile Area Water and Sewer System (MAWSS).

Dead deer floating in your drinking water. If this deer was on the side of the road there is someone to call to get it removed. There is no one to call to get dead animals removed from the drinking water supply.

Saw lots of oil containers alone the shoreline.

When this can rusts the remaining brake cleaner will leach into the drinking water lake.

Shoreline trash is ignored. Some has been there for probably decades because MAWSS has no program to ever remove the shoreline trash except by the highway where it is convenient to access.

Big Creek Lake, Mobile's drinking water supply is looking more like a garbage dump every year.

Trash, trash and more trash.

I unscrewed the cap on one of the MAWSS ignored pieces of trash floating in the water and guess what came out? I don't know. The bottle had no label. It does not look healthy to drink.

MAWSS certainly does not care. They ought get those political cronies on the MAWSS board to get off their lazy ass to walk the shoreline of Big Creek Lake to remove the garbage.

Meantime, what is in Mobile's drinking water supply and trash dump? No one knows. No one cares as long as the water passes a few tests. Drink up. Got Cancer Yet?

Years of Irresponsible Neglect

The view of the shoreline of Dog River along a public Utility (MAWSS) three days ago. It is very obvious the City of Mobile's storm water trash in their Dog River trash chute has been ignored here for multiple years. 

That must be because the City of Mobile has no plan to stop their pollution of Dog River and no plan to EVER clean up the waterway their community of litter chunkers have lined with a sickening amount of trash pollution. That is the Ugly reality seen from the camera's lens.
