SAGINAW, MI — Paul Reinsch doesn’t want to know what happens when all the toilet flushes from homes on the west side of Saginaw no longer go where they are supposed to go.
“That would not be good,” said Reinsch, director of Saginaw’s water and wastewater treatment operations. “That would probably make the front page of the newspaper.”
Preventing such an environmental nightmare is at the heart of the priciest of 31 items Saginaw City Hall department leaders recently added to a “wish list” of proposed expenditures that could be funded by $52 million in federal stimulus money.
