What State does Art live in?

At the Town Meeting Monday night, among other things I was assured that the new sewer plant is "state of the art". Just what State does Art live in that thinks it's a good idea to pump any amount of waste water into the creeks and rivers? I have tried to find a reason to believe that this is "state of the art" technology. So far I only find it to be a quick way to spend 18,000,000 dollars(that's a lot of zero's) to pollute our rivers. I always thought "state of the art" meant the best available, or equal to it. Obviously I was mistaken. I have been educated. Now I understand it means; it's better than what you now have, yet it is still far below what you really need and we are still going to pollute your waters, and it only cost you $.18,000,000 (still a lot of zero's no matter how many times you say it). To the ones that tried to convince myself and others with this state of the art concept and numbers dance Monday night; OOPS! Try again. We don't buy it. To us "State of the art" means that Beaufort is going to stop dumping ANY waste water into ANY of our waters! This means now, and not in 2,5, 10, or 20 years. NOW! Quick thought. If someone aims a gun at another person and a police officer sees this, then draws his weapon and yells "Stop and drop it now", how many times should the officer have to yell this before he protects the victim? Now, for example lets say that the waters of this area are the victims, Beaufort's Town Commissioners are the the assailant, the Beaufort Sewer System is the weapon, and The Polluted Loon is the Police Officer. What should we do to stop the death of our waters? NEWS FLASH!!!!! Monday night was a "warning shot". I don't think there will be another.

PS I eagerly await the answers (in writing) the board said they would give me.
