Let it mellow #NYC ! With all this rain, the #sewage from our homes is combining with rainwater in the pipes underground, overwhelming treatment plants and leading to #CombinedSewageOverflow (aka #poop getting dumped into the harbor).
By waiting to use your sink, shower, dishwasher or other appliances, you can help prevent the system from being overloaded!
