[pyt212]

I heard it is due to problem with sewage plant (grinder is fixed?). Does anyone know if is going to reopen?

My buddy works for the St Joe water department.  2 pumps that pump the discharge from the fish cleaning station overloaded a couple weeks ago when the big kings were were still around St Joe.  Part of my buddies job is skimming the layer of ground fish fat and offal from the holding tanks when the pumps start backing up.  He says he's never seen it even close to as heavy and thick as it has been recently.  I did not ask if they were hiring.  New pumps are on order and should be installed soon. We're talking big, expensive pumps, so the water department guys were apparently pretty ticked about it.   I sent him in with a cooler full of Salmon to pass around to the workers as an olive branch, lol.

It's back open.
