Workers make Big Mistake

Two weeks ago Salt Lake County workers made a serious mistake, and it was caught on camera. You can find the story here.
While cleaning out debris from catch drain basins, the two workers decided that instead of disposing the waste into the proper place, they would drive to the nearest drain and dump it. The problem was that this drain emptied right into a nearby river. To make things worse, one of the residents from the local area recorded the acts on camera. The public works director stated that the debris was mostly just "muddy water"; which I'm sure is an attempt to diffuse the situation.
However, he claimed the the County will set the example, and pay the 1000 dollar fine.
