      According to this article:

      housing developments add to the problem with extra wastewater and sewage from new homes as well as run-off from construction sites.

      Pretty much everything people do is polluting now and wipes out the fish.

        Yeah, but the current polluters don’t have a vested interest in fixing their problem to allow for new housing.

        A mandate to require new development to meet a standard on sewage would be more productive than an outright ban.
