"The city has been collecting massive levels of water taxes from Brooklyn for a very long time, and spending in on improvements for all that Manhattan development. The city does have a choice on how they spend the sewer tax money. So far they have been choosing to let the highest rate of sewage run through our neighborhood while others get infrastructure to ensure they are sewage free. Well, this superfund will now require the city to use funds in Gowanus to that we might also have a community that beings to approach the standards most of the sewer rate payers enjoy."
