   They'd probably go into the sewer system. Some places treat their sewer   
   water, some places don't. Not that they'd ever use coal ashes on the   
   streets of San Diego, but their sewer treatment plants would test the   
   water and if they found something toxic in it, they'd track the source and   
   make them stop using coal ashes, or treat the toxic water. If it were   
   Tijunua, MX, they'd allow it to flow into the Pacific ocean via the   
   Tijunua River.
