Sewage Stupidity

From the Columbus Dispatch:

Penn National Gaming's idea to pump sewage from its planned Franklin Township casino into a deep well would be a first in Ohio.
Locked in a stalemate with Columbus officials over annexation, the Pennsylvania-based company advanced the idea of "deep-well injection" for its casino sewage in a Feb. 22 memo sent to the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency.
The company argues in the memo that an injection well is an option that would circumvent a demand by Columbus officials that the casino allow its property to be annexed into the city before it can get sewer services. Another option is trucking sewage to a treatment plant.
The company also is looking at obtaining drinking water by drilling wells rather than tapping into Columbus water mains.
Penn National has balked at annexation unless Columbus agrees to provide tax breaks and other incentives.
Bob Tenenbaum, a company spokesman, declined to comment.

I saw a mention in the Dayton Daily News that Penn National was proposing deep-well injection of sanitary sewage.  I couldn't figure out why they would be considering that.  Now I know.  That is stupid.  I thought the casino was going to be built at an old Delphi factory, wouldn't they already have had sewer?  Anyway, Penn National has really been a pain-in-the-ass with this casino.
