Description
We have been sick for almost a week with stomachache and intestinal ailments, and fever after swimming at Virginia Beach at 20th street and Atlantic Ave last weekend. Online, it says there have been issues with sewage overflow in the ocean within the city and the companies had 8 years to fix the way the handled sewage in 2016. I wonder if this is still an issue. There has been heavy rain during the last couple of weeks. https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/hampton-roads-sanitation-district-virginia-agrees-settle-clean-water-act-violationsNews Source Link
