The EPA's role is to provide the report to the Department to alert it to problems with wastewater in certain towns, cities and areas. It points out the places where we are not meeting our obligations. Are the reports that have been given to the Department ignored? Have the investments simply not been made? If things have got to a point where the EPA has consistently been pointing out that we could end up being taken to court and fined by the European Union, then it would make more sense to make the investment rather than having to pay fines.
