Dear Editor, I did not know that open sewers are legal in Carson City. However, I have found out that Lennar Homes and Andersen Ranch Estates have decided that open sewers are just perfect for our town. They are ugly, dirty, full of disease, trashy, and unsafe. I guess Lennar, our Board, Planning commission, and Planning department think this is just fine. I hope all of them have to live near an open sewer one day. They are turning this lovely town into a suburb of New Delhi or Karachi!
