Vandals hit a empty city building at the 24-year-old sewage treatment plant on Tamarack, according to a Michael Burge story in the San Diego Union-Tribune and now the City of Carlsbadistan is offering a $10,000 reward for the arrest of those responsible.
vandals. . . ripped up the walls and ceilings of vacant city buildings and stuffed the debris into a sewer main, causing a minor spill and major damage. . . City Public Works Director Glenn Pruim said city crews were at the plant Sept. 29 working on something else when they heard a noise, investigated and saw raw sewage surging out of a manhole. . . They contained the spill so it didn’t overflow into a storm drain and find its way to a stream or lagoon, Pruim said. . . The city estimates the damage at $150,000.
Not to blame this on “the kids,” but maybe if the City built a proper skateboard park the youth of Carlsbadistan would have something a little more productive to do in their spare time.
