Great reading,
By Christopher Laborde (Chula Vista, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Raw Sewage to Reclaimed Water: The History of Sewerage Systems in the Metropolitan San Diego-Tijuana Region (Paperback)
After reading this book I knew everything I wanted (and didn't want) to know about San Diego's sewerage system. The author wrote this book in terminology that anyone can understand. Highly recommend it for anyone who has the slightest interest in what happens when you flush the toilet.
