Cellphones, chairs found as San Antonio River is drained, cleaned
If you have been to the San Antonio River Walk this week, you might have noticed a big change as the river has been drained for both cleaning and minor construction.
EEEWWW
They need to make it so it’s not green anymore it’s kinda embarrassing tourist have to see that and shout out to Nefi I’ve worked with his dad remodeling some restaurants on the Riverwalk
What about the fish?
They need to clean them River center mall bathrooms tell me I’m lying the whole downtown attractions need to be remodeled and cleaned …
So is the water going to be clear when it gets filled back up
Surprised they haven’t found a body yet
I’ve spent my entire life in San Antonio. As the years progressed, so did the downtown area. The shops and restaurants on each of the river which would end up leading to the Mall. Everything was changing with the exception of the stench of the river water. Leaves cluttered the surface area of the water. Year after year the City fails to install airiation systems to pump air back into the river. Install skimmer baskets on back of boats to collect leaves and debris. OK City Council, find a better way!
Good old Riverwalk…the clean up to remove debris..would volunteer to monitor the collection…1983 ..mostly hula hoops …and frisbee..no phones maybe a fruit crate or old fuller brush vacuum from a hotel close by …Walked with Park Rangers bump into local Sport reporter Dan Cook ..talking to Mr Broadhind..joking with newspaper editor Maury Maverick..one could visit them at the Emily Morgan or Menger Hotel…darn I feel old.😌
I, with my family greatly enjoyed the area when on vacation. Had great food at the Original. Tasty, but fiery the next day.
What about any wildlife in the water ?
All the rivers in our country need to be cleaned out and respected, by idiots not throwing their garbage in streams and rivers.
Look at our local hiways. I drive them every night……people quit caring
Really brings back memories of my time in the Air Force in Tx at Lackland AFB! River Walk is beautiful
Why don’t they shovel all that crap out scrape it clean
I like the guy who picks up trash, then throws it back into the water. Great Job!
Been there 2x in the heat of summer. Swore I’d never go back again….!!!! Will have to try in the spring or fall I guess
1:55 immediately dropped something in water lol
Too bad wolf and Nuremberg wasn’t in it.
Lithium and more Lithium is what you should have said we found.
I would give anything to metal detect that river
I rememeber when they use to drain it every year to clean it, and have mud fest…
I haven’t been there since 1976 when I was 16yo in Job Corps from San Marcos! Love that city!
How is the smell of the 23 million gallons of raw sewage SAWS got caught dumping and sued $16,000,000 for… they ruined the river back in the mid 80’s ,I remember how it was and it’s disgusting now compared to then
The Justice Department, on behalf of EPA, filed a complaint against SAWS alleging that between 2006 and 2012, SAWS had approximately 2,200 illegal overflows from its sanitary sewer system that discharged approximately 23 million gallons of raw sewage into local waterways in violation of its CWA discharge permit. The cause of these overflows stems largely from system capacity problems that result in the sewer system being overwhelmed by rainfall, causing it to discharge untreated sewage combined with storm water into local waterways. EPA confirmed these violations during a 2011 field inspection and record review.
I wonder how many scooters they are gonna find ?
Lol damn
Uff The smell
It’s unfortunate they didn’t let me come down.
Gross, and who cares about, the tourist, lol
With water shortage, they should have waited
