Stay Out of the Water!

Warning signs were posted Wednesday along Waikiki's world-famous beaches. The signs warned people to stay out of the water!

But the problem was not a shark! An aging (installed in 1964) water main failed and millions of gallons of untreated sewage poured into the ocean. This is bad and all, but the ASCE blog hints at the statement, "We told you so!"

The U.S. is not that short on civil engineers to solve the infrastructure problems. The U.S. IS short on funding. Do I have the answer? No, but something needs to be done before a worse incident happens.
