    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.
