highlighted a University of Cincinnati study that examined potentially dangerous bacteria from overflowing sewers at a Cincinnati park.
UC College of Arts and Sciences Associate Professor Bob Hyland said that combined sewer systems such as the one at Burnet Woods collect both stormwater and sewage. But when heavy rains fall, the sewers can overflow and spill onto surrounding low areas of the park near a picnic site and swingset.
Earlier this year, WCPO talked to Hyland and his students about their project that found alarming levels of bacteria in the soil around combined sewer overflows at Burnet Woods after a heavy rain.
