I thought that diluted untreated sewage was good for you!
And you know she fell ill because of the water how?
I don’t! But I do know that due to the way that the sewer is designed, it often spills into the river during heavy rain. I also know that some people were against the swimming sports taking place there, because of the aforementioned problem.
I’m sorry if I sounded too presumptious. I recently learned of the controversies of the Olympic swimming in Paris and wanted to share my knowledge.
