Officials on Staten Island are demanding an investigation after an apparent sewage leak into lakes at a local park, where faulty piping has continuously spewed raw sewage into an interconnected waterway, they claim.⁠ ⁠ "If this was Central Park and this was the issue, we had raw sewage in the lake at Central Park, people would be flipping out justifiably," said Borough President Vito Fossella.⁠ ⁠ He and other local leaders are calling for the formation of a task force with appropriate state and local agencies to address what they described as a clear public health hazard at Clove Lakes Park. Inside the park, Clove Lake itself is connected through waterways to Martling Lake and Brooks Lake.⁠ ⁠ #nbc4ny #statenisland #environment
